HOLIDAY PROMOTION SURVEY
Historic District Merchants--If you have not yet done so, please take this PT Main Street Holiday Promotion survey. We value your feedback to help us better plan our promotions and events, THANK YOU!
PARKING SURVEY UPDATE
Hello and thanks to everyone who filled out our parking survey this winter.  This was the first part of collecting information on how parking is working downtown. We will send the survey again, yes the same survey, in the June-August 2015 time frame. We ask you to please fill it out again with your "summer" parking lens on.  If you didn't get to fill it out the first time, this will be your chance. Again, we ask that you please take the time to give us feedback.  In September and October we will put the data together with comments and release it to the City of Port Townsend with some possible recommendations for moving forward.
Many thanks for your participation, and stay tuned.
