City staff presented results from the 2022 Citizen Survey to City Council during a December 2022 worksession. The survey was available online to all residents in late 2022. The City received 1,841 responses, up from 1,317 responses to the prior survey. The survey has been conducted every few years since 2010 and is an important tool for gathering citizen feedback on priorities and satisfaction levels.

Citizen satisfaction across the board remains high in Colleyville. Ninety-five percent of survey takers said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the overall quality of life. Satisfaction was also high in terms of encouraging economic growth and planning for the future needs of residents, both of which increased from the 2019 survey. The City’s core services also received high marks including fire protection, emergency medical services, police, library programs, and municipal court. Satisfaction with community events also increased substantially and 71% of respondents had attended at least one City event in the last 12 months.

One area the survey focused on was economic development. A majority of respondents (57%) felt the City should purchase commercial property and buildings for the purpose of ensuring quality development. There was also strong support (73%) in favor of the City pursuing the purchase of open space, primarily for open park land or natural state open space.

The other major focus area of the survey was about citizens’ transportation priorities. A total of 59% preferred a maintenance/repaving approach to road work, as opposed to full reconstruction. Similarly, 59% of respondents also believe that peak traffic needs are met by current roadway design. Results were evenly mixed when it came to preferred traffic mitigation techniques.  Both road widening and keeping current road widths were preferred by 34% of respondents, respectively, while 32% preferred the use of traffic control measures.  The top needs identified for transportation were sidewalks and trails and roundabouts.

City Council and staff use the results of the survey to guide priorities for 2023 and beyond.
