Alpine to use survey in master plan
Most want cultural opportunities and open space preserved
Fifty-eight percent of the households had only one wage earner.
The city, with assistance from the Mountainland Association of Governments, used Boy Scouts to distribute the survey to residents earlier this year.
The City Council and Planning Commission intend to incorporate the results into the city's General Plan, which is designed to guide the city for the next five to 10 years.
The survey found the residents liked Alpine's good neighborhoods, the family-centered community, the beauty of the mountains and the small-town atmosphere.
A majority wanted commercial growth and more cultural and recreational opportunities.
What the residents don't like is growth and the lack of services and schools.
The two greatest items of concern were preservation of open space and water.
While 55 percent of the respondents favor commercial growth, opinion was divided as to where the growth should occur. About half suggested the downtown area, and half mentioned the Alpine Highway south of the roundabout.
Banking, boutiques, entertainment and gas stations also scored high.
