2018 Malaga Cove Homeowners Poll

poll closed February 2017

Results

In February 2017, the Malaga Cove Homes Association  conducted a survey of its members to understand how they feel about local roadway safety issues.  The majority of the survey respondents support the Roadway Safety Guiding Principles Platform authored by PVRSR.  In a letter to the city, MCHA leadership wrote:

"...Indeed, as stated above, nearly two-thirds of our members who took our survey want MCHA to write a letter of support for the Platform. Hence, we are stating here that MCHA recommends that City leaders integrate the Platform’s principles, as well as the attached MCHA member feedback, into your efforts to improve roadway safety in PVE."
