The committee commissioned a telephone survey of Colleyville residents to gauge citizen attitudes regarding roadway improvements. In addition, committee members completed the survey to determine if their attitudes were similar to those of the randomly selected sample of residents. Some of the major issues identified through the survey included: - Residents surveyed were generally satisfied (77%) with the system of roadways in Colleyville; the committee members were generally dissatisfied (70%).
- The improvements made to Hall-Johnson Road were generally seen as a positive and similar improvements to other roadways would be supported by almost 70 percent of those surveyed.
- 79% of those surveyed thought that traffic in the area has become more congested during the past three years.
- Cheek Sparger and Glade roads were identified as roadways with the most congestion and as being in the poorest condition.
- The residents surveyed were generally supportive of roadway and intersection improvements and were willing to consider a full range of options for improving roadways.
- The residents surveyed recognized the need to pay for improvements and favored a bond election, allowing the city to sell bonds. Survey results indicated citizens would support a bond package in the range of $10 million dollars and an average increase in property taxes of less than $100 per year, per household.
- Acording to the survey, less than 20% wanted to keep roadways in an "as is" condition.
- According to the survey, less than 20% thought roadway improvements would negatively impact neighborhoods.
