Access To City Gov’t And Staying Informed
Rating of “providing citizen access or input to government” has decreased significantly
over last year and has reached its lowest rating since 2000. Arlington residents
continue to feel the need for improvement in the city providing citizen access and input
to city government.
The city’s effort to keep the public informed is also perceived as moderate. Seventy six
percent of Arlington residents feel that the City keeps them informed. This is the lowest
rating since 2005. The Cowboy stadium project and Water Conservation Campaign
(88% and 70% respectively are at least somewhat informed), scored the highest with
only two area scoring above 60 percent (Parks and Recreation Programs 65%; I-30
Improvement Project 64%). All other city projects and campaigns appear to be
moderate at about 50%, or lower.
