Please select your gender. Female
What is your annual household income? (This information helps us understand affordability challenges and housing needs) $100,000 – $149,999
Which race or ethnicity best describes you? White/Caucasian
How do you feel about the current population density in the Bridge to Beach District? Too High
The District's population shifts daily, from 850 residents at night to more than 4,133 during the day due to workers and visitors. What services, amenities, or infrastructure improvements are most needed to support this daytime influx while balancing residents' needs? Other - Limit population on HHI, discourage short term rentals, encourage off island workers to take public transportation to work.
Considering the district’s mixed-use opportunities, how supportive are you of integrating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces? Strongly Oppose
Aging office buildings are more prone to redevelopment. Nearly one-third of the parcels (110 acres) in the Bridge to Beach District are aging office buildings that are susceptible to change. What concerns do you have regarding potential redevelopment in the district? (Select all that apply) Other - Tear them down and leave as natural open space for migrating birds.
Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) are residential properties that are affordable to low- and moderate-income households without direct government subsidies or affordability requirements. How important is it to preserve NOAH in the Bridge to Beach District? Not at all important
How important is it to preserve workforce housing within the district? Not at all important
How important is public access to parks, trails, and waterfront areas for community recreation? Important
Directions: Pick two images that best represent the district’s theme. Theme 2
Do you feel this vision accurately represents what the Bridge to Beach District should become? Strongly Disagree
What aspects of this vision do you believe will most benefit the community? (Select all that apply) Other - The town management is way off course with it’s woke agenda. Get back to natural beauty and low population density. Stop bringing social problems to a small island community. Stop bringing crime and graffiti.
The district serves diverse businesses, their employees, and customers, as well as food and beverage industries, park and marina users, boat landing users, and multiple church congregations. How well do you think the district currently serves these groups? Poorly
What aspects of the district should be preserved? (Select all that apply) Full-time residential communities
How can we better activate the district? (Select all that apply) Other - Get rid of it.
With over 3,000 short-term rentals (STRs) across the Island's 8 Planning Districts, and 21 STRs in the Bridge to Beach District, STRs make up nearly one-third of housing units outside of Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). Do you believe the STR ordinance should be amended to further regulate STRs? Yes
Feel free to elaborate on your response regarding Short-Term Rentals. Reduce STRs to less than 1,000. Good luck doing so. By the way, the restaurants on HHI are highly overrated, likely due to the Chamber of Commerce. I object to large venues at Celebration Park. Who in their right mind wants to sit in an open area without shade and has the high probability of fire ants.
Should the following focus areas be part of the planning process for the district?
Please provide any comments on these focus areas and identify any that we have missed. What the heck is a multimodal system. I wish the community planners would stay with simple language and quit trying to be overpaid trendy municipal leaders who can’t seem to demonstrate common sense and simple visions.
How would you rate the accessibility of the district for:
What improvements would you like to see in the district’s transportation and connectivity? (Select all that apply) Expanded public transit options
How satisfied are you with the level of community involvement in the Bridge to Beach district planning efforts to date (i.e. community engagement meeting and public survey)? Dissatisfied
Would you be interested in participating in future Town meetings or workshops? No
Do you have any additional comments or suggestions regarding the future of the Bridge to Beach District? The entire island is a mess and my comments apply to all aspects of the island. This island community is deteriorating fast. Look at the types of tourists it is attracting. 98% are overweight slobs. Few of these visitors care about the condition of HHI, they discard trash, leave rentals in poor condition, speed and honk horns, etc. They end up leaving the full time workers and residents with a discouraging attitude which continues after the tourist season is over.

Please provide any comments on these focus areas and identify any that we have missed. I am very much against turning motels into high density housing for workforce employee purposes, particularly when they are adjacent to residential neighborhoods. I am also not in favor of our tax revenues supporting any part of these endeavors. The businesses hiring these workers should be responsible for providing housing, not the taxpayers.

The newer (last 12 months) golf cart use that is illegal because of speed limit from Leg o mutton to capital drive north is extremely dangerous. Add’l sheriff and code violation personnel need to be more active with golf carts coming into that area from Marshes at Broad Creek at Marshland and Broad View Ln. Bad accidents occur. Food truck driveway needs to be relocated further from that intersection. Sea Turtle golf cart rental is the primary company whose rental golf carts are seen on roads at 40-45 speed limit.
