Results of the King Street Place Pilot Survey Offer Positive Feedback

The City of Alexandria has posted the results of its King Street Place Pilot feedback and the nearly 2,000 responses show that 90% of respondents rate the quality of their experience as either very positive (78%), or positive (12%).

In late August, the City provided an online feedback form to gain insight on public opinion of the pedestrianization of the unit block of King Street and the northern portion of The Strand.

Key findings from the survey show that the top three benefits respondents identified were: feeling safer as a pedestrian; a greater benefit to people using the public space; and more space to eat or shop outside. The top three challenges respondents identified were: traffic backing up on Union Street; trash cans being fuller; and people riding bicycles in the pedestrian zone.

About 89% of respondents stated they would like to see the closure continue permanently, with extra public seating, more outdoor dining and public bathrooms being the most desirable changes moving forward.

In terms of respondents from businesses, results were fairly similar. Of 25 respondents, 68% had a positive or very positive experience, and 76% would like to see the pedestrianization become permanent. Benefits, preferences and future desired changes were all very similar.
