Community Survey by GCMPC

What improvements are needed in your neighborhood? When asked what the overall need to improve quality of life, 47% of respondents felt access to high-speed internet was the highest. Quality of schools and higher paying jobs were a close second and third. Not surprisingly, more trees and open space scored as the lowest need due to an abundance of this asset throughout Genesee County.

Quality of Life

Community Survey In April 2018, the Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (GCMPC) launched a community-wide survey to hear from residents and community leaders alike. The start of the survey indicated the official kickoff for the development of the Genesee: Our County, Our Future Plan with three open house sessions being held in the City of Flint, City of Clio, and City of Fenton. The survey was also made available at http://ourfuturegenesee.org/. In the first ten weeks alone over 1,000 surveys were completed (1,079 in total) representing almost every community in the County. By completing this survey, residents will assist staff in the development of the overall goals and objectives for this Plan. The first question of the survey asked Genesee County residents to select their top three reasons for choosing to live in their neighborhood. More than half (56%) of respondents selected safety as their primary reason; with family (49%) and cost of housing (44%) rounding out the top three. Access to public transportation received the least number of votes for choosing their neighborhood with only 3%. In the next series of questions, residents were asked how they would rate on a scale of low, medium, or high the overall need for improvements in their neighborhood.

Genesee County residents were asked what infrastructure improvements were needed most in their neighborhood. Respondents overwhelmingly supported road improvements, with 70% agreeing it was of the highest need. Other significant needs included sidewalk (path) improvements and the installation of a fiber optic network.

Of the options listed for economic development improvements, attraction of new business was felt to be the highest need at 63%. Both the creation of new jobs and retention of existing jobs also received high support. Commercial building improvements received much less support from respondents.

The number one housing improvement most desired by Genesee County residents is more energy efficient homes. Assistance with code enforcement and the availability of home improvement funding rounded out the top three. Housing improvements that were considered less needed were a greater variety of housing types and the demolition of dangerous / blighted homes.

To help pay for transportation improvements, Genesee County residents were asked how likely they are to support each of the following funding methods: an increase in fuel tax, increase in local taxes, increase in state tax, increase in vehicle registration costs, an annual tax on vehicle miles driven, or the establishment of toll roads. 35% of respondents would at most â&#x20AC;&#x153;somewhat likelyâ&#x20AC;? support an increase in local taxes while 80% of respondents are opposed to an annual tax on vehicle miles driven.

Another way to help understand and visualize what improvements residents would be willing to financially support, we asked respondents if given $100, how much would you spend on transportation improvements? Of the over 1,000 responses, nearly 50% or $49.00 would be spent to improve conditions of the roads and bridges (on average). The construction of walking and biking facilities received approximately 20% or $19.00 of the $100 budget.

somewhat satisfied, while 6% felt very dissatisfied. Opening a drop-off recycling center and providing a larger curbside wheeled cart were the top improvements communities could make for recycling collection. For garbage disposal, nearly half of respondents (48%) felt communities should collect household hazardous waste or provide special collection events.

of Mt. Morris were the winning communities with projects that included the planting of perennial flowers/trees, installation of signage, and creation of new public space.

Summary The Genesee: Our County, Our Future community-wide survey was a tremendous success in 2018. Residents provided truly valuable thoughts on what is working well in their neighborhoods and what should be improved. The neighborhood improvement repeatedly mentioned was the need for improved internet speeds and the infrastructure to support it, particularly in rural communities. This not only impacts oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life but is a critical to an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial success. All survey results will be included in the appendix of this report.

In addition to understanding what neighborhood improvements were considered to be most desired by residents, GCMPC staff felt it was important to know how Genesee County residents felt about current garbage and recycling services in their communities. When asked how important they felt it is to recycle, 81% of respondents felt it was very important, 16% somewhat important, and 3% not important at all. Respondents were then asked how satisfied they are with the options available to dispose of garbage and recyclables. 85% feel at minimum

To garner interest in the survey, GCMPC staff felt residents needed to experience an immediate improvement in their community. To meet this goal, it was advertised that three communities would each be awarded a $2,000 beautification grant. So that communities with less population wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be omitted, rankings were based on the highest percentage of resident participation.

Plant more trees, because they bring so many benefits! (They enhance beauty, bring up property values, clean the air, attract songbirds that sound so pleasant, and make space more walkable by providing shade). Also, make whatever improvements are necessary to make our community more pedestrian- and bike- friendly. (Walking and cycling are virtually free, they reduce congestion, and they build community. They also increase safety: crime is less likely to happen in spots that receive steady foot & cycling traffic.)

Enforce home owners to clean up their property and housing, grass mowing, etc. This hood looks terrible! Tear down vacant rental homes where owners have boarded up windows and doors. Looks awful! Houses sit for years without anyone living or caring for the homes. Makes this "hood" look ridiculous! Make people mow their lawn; more than just sending a letter to them once in a blue moon! Why should you have to keep sending letters! FINE THEM! DO SOMETHING! It's awful! Junk cars everywhere. Vacant homes everywhere.

5/22/2018 12:15 PM

Mt. Morris Township 24

I live in Mount Morris Township, not the city. We need our roads fixed, Jennings Road, Stanley Road, Clio Road, and all the intersections, they fix roads but not the intersections, and the intersections of our roads need to be fixed. We also need left turn lights, for all the streets that have lights, not just one side of the intersections, Example: Jennings Road and Pierson Raod light, there is a left turn for Pierson Road, but not Jennings Road. We don't have bus routes, sidewalks or bike lanes in Mount Morris Township. We need new sewer lines put in. The sewer lines that are in the ditches of peoples property only have pipes under driveways and the ditches are filled with grass. We need the intersections fixed on all our roads, Example: the intersection of Pierson Road and Jennings Road, the intersection of Stanley Road and Clio road and the intersection of Stanley Reado and Linden Road. The pavement side of the intersection of Stanley Road and Linden Road needs to be brought out more on the sides of Stanley Road and the paved intersection of Stanely Road needs to be fixed not patched over and over again. The dirt part gets big holes on either side of Stanley Road on the paved area, of Stanley Road and Linden Road. One side of Stanely Road is paved and one side is a dirt road area of Stanley Road at the intersection of Stanley Road and Linden Road. We also need more good paying jobs in Mount Morris Township and Genesee County, not right to work/low paying jobs. We need our taxes lowered, not raised. The businesses don't pay enough in taxes and it ends up on the shoulders of the people and we don't have good paying jobs and enough people working to pay taxes in Mount Morris Township, we use to, but we don't any longer. We don't have as many people who own hones either. There are too many homes and businesses that need to be knocked down in the township as well, they have been empty for too long and no one is buying them. They need too much money to fix them up. We have too much blight, too many homes that have trash and other stuff piled up in the back or sides of homes and businesses. We need to have wheeled lighter blue recycled trash cans like Clayton Township supplies to the people who live in Clayton Township to put recycled items in. We need recycled items picked up every week not once in a while or every other week. Most people don't have an automobile that can hall tires, batteries, appliances, furniture to the recycle places. They don't have family or friends that can help either. The recycled place in Mount Morris Township isn't opened every day or of that many hours, on the days it is opened.

The lack of a side walk going down Belsay Rd is a serious problem. I often see an older woman, in an electric wheelchair, driving down the shoulder. I fear for her safety every time I see her. Drivers do not adhere to the speed limit and often times honk their horn at her when they come up on her. She is seen with a child riding on her lap. It's an accident waiting to happen.

5/2/2018 10:30 AM

Would like sidewalks on Howe rd there isn't an edge for bikes to ride on. Autistic child needs this for safety reasons.

4/28/2018 11:21 PM

Atherton Road needs sidewalks. Particularly between Genesee Rd and Center Road, or at least to Meijer. People walk on that road all the time, and the speed limit (45) is not enforced. A Burton police officer actually said that she doesn't pull people over unless they are going over 15mph over the speed limit. also, there needs to be a sidewalk on Genesee Road between Atherton and Bristol. It is absolutely ridiculous that there are 4 schools in that 1 mile stretch, and there are no sidewalks. Children walk to and from that school every day and have to walk in the grass. The speed limit it 35, but people often go 45 or higher. Children should not have to be worried about getting hit by a car on their way to school, and kids who live less than a mile from school should feel safe enough to have the option to walk and not drive.

Genesee County needs to offer its residents more options beyond an auto-dependent, single family detached housing lifestyle. We need to improve our transit options so it is as convenient if not more so than driving, we need to reduce blight, and work to raise wages in our County. We will only succeed if we enhance our urban assets, improve our recreational facilities, and provide a diverse housing stock.

Add benches and trash receptacles along public streets in neighborhoods to allow for long walks and periods of rest. Also, before adding more trees, clear out neglected, dead, and dying publicly owned street trees, park trees, and those in and around water bodies such as drains, creeks, rivers, and lakes. I'm confused by this survey. At the beginning it was stated that this is a survey to aid in the 2045 Transportation Plan and Consolidated Plan. I understand transportation, but what is meant by a Consolidated Plan? And if this is a visioning survey for the period up to 2045, the "needs questions" are asking about today's needs and not framed for forward thinking, visions, and possibilities.

We should charge people by how much garbage (vs. recycling) they produce. Charge either by the bag or by the pound, or only collect garbage at the curb in a particular bin and charge by the size of the bin. That would be the best incentive of all (better than education) to get people to recycle.

Please consider clearing up those empty trailer homes. It's not safe on Western Rd. Both bridges in this neighborhood on Boulevard and Pierson Rd also on Western Rd are very bad where the water flows. Maybe more people would use the park down there if it didn't look do bad.

When I lived in Flint with Republic garbage collection, we could place recyclables in a clear plastic trash can if we had too many for our bins. We could also put nested boxes on the curb, without cutting them down. Out here in Flushing Township, boxes must be cut down and tied together, something difficult for me due to various health issues to accomplish. Also, they specifically do not accept recyclables in clear plastic bags.

Best way to save roads is less truck traffic. Build better rail and ship cargo. Then trucks only need to do local runs. Truckers could be home every night. Communities would be cleaner, etc. improving rail would provide a lot of employment. Travel would become more diverse to larger number of destinations. Overall improvement to cargo and human transport throughout country

Please take a concerned look at roads surrounding Myers Elementary School. The School should be assessed for the repaving of the roads since school buses have probably been the primary reason for the deterioration of the streets. We should be ashamed of the condition of these roads! The home owners around the school may not be able to afford the assessment. Children are walking in those narrow streets to school too. At least an extensive repair of the huge pot holes! Take a drive around the school!

We have roads that are beyond pothole patch repair, I would like to see the county step in and proactively work with residents to get these roads replaced.

The garbage collection options around here are a throwback to the 1980s. Moving here last fall from St. Joseph County, Indiana, I was stunned to discover we have to provide our own trash cans and recycling for residential is haphazard at best. St. Joe County offered a countywide recycling service with wheeled carts and a countywide fall leaf collection. The roads also are absolutely horrible here. State routes, county roads, local roads -- a mess. Center Road is an embarassment. A major commercial corridor that you have to straddle the lane lines to keep from tearing up your vehicle.

Thank you very much for asking for our feedback in our neighborhoods since we are the ones that live here. I've been in customer service for 30+ years so I really appreciate your approach to asking for our feedback. By the way, I love that the police patrol a lot in my neighborhood, Chapin & Mill Wheel. You guys rock! Also, I heard something about when repairing roads with the asphalt stuff that putting cardboard down after 1st dose of asphalt and then more asphalt on top is supposed to work well. Maybe at the corner of Mill Wheel and Wishing Well Dr. My car almost was buried at that corner with the 4 foot deep 17 foot wide pothole. And the lady that lives in that house does not take good care of her little yorkie dog. His name is Casey and is outside in 95 degrees while owner is in a/c house and outside in 20 below zero with owner in heated house. She leaves the garage side door open for him now. Big Deal! Not like it's heated or air conditioned. I've stopped several times because he had no water or shelter or because it was too cold. I let her know I was watching her. As you can tell I am an animal advocate. I also love the fact that I have a male and female mallard come visit me almost every day and I have lots of different birds. I feel like I'm up-north.

Grand Blanc is a lovely place to live, but it definitely needs to offer biking/walking opportunities. That alone would reduce the congestion and car/traffic problems. I realize that it is home to GM, but it’s time to invest in biking and places to walk. Right now, I have to put my bike in the car and drive somewhere else where I can ride it. Seems incredibly silly to do that.

The public transportation system in SE Mi is a joke. People don't get hired because the transportation is so unreliable.

Traffic congestion is becoming a major problem. We here are fortunate where we live but having stated this I can see a problem developing. There is poor planning for the future.

Need roads fixed ASAP. Massive road fixes everywhere! Raise taxes to do it. It may already be too late to get ahead of it. Stop pointing at each other saying they should fix it.

Contractor should have to come back and fix it right. I worked asphalt so don’t say they did it right and couldn’t or aren’t responsible for the sinking. Wasn’t compacted correctly when they did it.

I think the Township and city need to really get together and explore the options of how to improve Hill Rd. There should be a bike path or sidewalk to eliminate the foot/bike traffic on the road itself. I understand Hill Road isn't the city's responsibility, but it is the main the access to the city. The first impression of Grand Blanc as a whole is a crumbling, extremely busy road, with bikers & pedestrians making it even more difficult to traverse. There is unkept lots or unkept parking along the road in many spots. It makes the area look rundown. Which in the long run could impact the new golf tour and the dollars it brings to Michigan's economy.

5/17/2018 10:55 AM

There are several new products that are longer lasting offered in the market today to improve the quality of the roads however our road commission is still using the same products that are constantly in need of repair. Is there a way for a long term budget to provide better quality products to be used on the road that will save the county money over time with the reduction in repair needs? This could also reduce complaints and provide businesses and citizens less time lost in "orange barrel" hell.

I hate the giant wheeled garbage/recycle bins. They are too big to store in a garage, are really heavy for older people, take up too much room in the street, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mammoth. I recycle a lot, but I do not want a container big enough to hold my entire family.

Bus stops in the Grand Blanc area are not good. There often isn't a sidewalk for people to get to the stop (or their destination). They end up walking through slush, snow banks and mud to get to where they need to go, as the path is often not cleared. There are no covered areas to wait or benches to sit on while waiting. People who take the bus deserve more respect than what they are given.

Mt. Morris Township 10

What Genesee County and Mount Morris Township need's Jobs with good pay, I am talking about a salary of $65,000 to $100,000 a year or more. We don't have many of those jobs. We have right to work/low paying/ minimum wages jobs. Other area's of Michigan have jobs that pay good salaries. Those jobs left Genesee County and never came back, why? We need our road all over Genesee County in cities, townships and villages fixed and fixed well, not patched or fixed, to just turn around and be patched up. We need water that is safe and clean to drink, cook with, and shower with. We need the air quality cleaned up, we need clean air to breathe, we have a poor quality of air, you can see a haze in the air in the spring, summer and fall times of the year. the air pollution needs to be cleaned up in Genesee County. We need to toxins out of the land in Genesee County, we have land that is polluted all over Genesee County. We need safe places to live and better response times by police, fire, and EMS services. We need every business and homeowner paying their taxes, many of them are behind on paying their taxes and businesses don't pay enough in taxes. We need the whole Consumer Energy system looked over and changed, we are paying way to much money for Energy usage, for water usage, to much for car insurance, home insurance. I am tired of hearing that the area I live in more people get into accidents or turn more into insurance companies for cars and homes than other area's. We need good, safe schools with up to date technology for the children to learn from so they are ready for today and future living. We need for colleges in Genesee County to be more affordable. We need more street lights that are solar operated, on our streets, highways and all neighborhoods, trailer parks, apartment neighborhoods. We need more solar use in Genesee County for homes, businesses, schools. We need to upgrade every sewer line. We need the power lines put underground and the internet, cable lines and phone lines as well. This will help power to not be lost during bad weather. We have too many areas of Genesee County that lose power whenever there is bad weather. This way tree limbs won't take down power lines, phone lines, cable, and internet lines. The rural areas of Genesee County need to have access to good internet, cable and phone lines as well, they can if the lines were put underground instead of up in the air with poles to keep them up. Kids in Flint, Mount Morris, Montrose, Clio, Kearsley, Swartz Creek, Should have as safe and up to date technology access as other schools in Genesee County Examples: Flushing, Grand Blanc. Flint needs to take down all hones and businesses that are empty and have been empty for 2 years or more. They also need a brand new up to date high school that is safe and run on solar energy and three new solar run elementary schools built and all the other schools need to be torn down and the land cleared. We need to get rid of all the blight in Genesee county, any homes, and business that have sat empty for two years or more need to be torn down. Flint also needs to go down to 5 burrows, instead of the 9 burrow they have now. They will save money by moving people out of the burrows that have the least amount of people in them and the homes and businesses can be torn down as well and the pipes can be pulled up and replaced so if new homes or businesses want to build in those areas they have new pipelines. This way the Flint City council can go down to 5 people instead of 9 people. That will save Flint money. Jobs, jobs, jobs, that are good paying jobs, clean water, air and land, safe places to live, hire more police and firefighters, better, safer schools, faster better internet, cable, and phone service as well antenna service access, meaning some areas have more channels and better service for antenna's than others. People can't afford their energy bills, water bills, internet, phone, cable bills, food, prescriptions and other bills any longer. We the people need a break, not the rich people. We don't need for our property taxes, gas tax, phone taxes and fees, cable taxes and fees, internet taxes and fees, sale tax, water fee's, energy fee's, food, car insurance, health, dental, vision, insurance, prescription prices, going up. we pay the highest or are in the top three of states in the US paying high rates on everything and people can't afford those rates any longer, we need a break.

I would love to see stricter standards for the exterior both residential and commercial properties. Near our home specifically, there is a small commercial junkyard with lots of scrap metal. It does not help the neighborhood look friendly and inviting. That business should be required to have a solid fence. Furthermore, some of the residential properties look just as bad as the scrapyard. For example, one of the homes in our neighborhood has scrap appliances, cars, etc all over their front yard and an obvious larger marijuana growing station in their backyard. This should not be allowed by city standards. We are in the process of closing on our house. This is the location I was speaking of throughout this survey. We are very happy to have chosen Grand Blanc to permanently reside in. We love the diversity, schools, and amount of police we constantly see patrolling.

4/25/2018 2:14 PM

Focus on infrastructure; cars are consistently damaged by the horrible road conditions. Keep the government out of business and allow the free market to operate. NO NEW VEHICLE OR GAS TAXES. Provide a stronger response option than "not likely" - as in "definitely not".

4/25/2018 12:55 PM

We need help with our roads!! Desperately.

4/25/2018 12:50 PM

Having the whole township have access to better internet is not just beneficial to the homeowner, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed now for children and adults to go to school to get an education. Where I live, we are about a mile from the internet cut off and have some expensive, slow, crappy internet because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all we can get. Trying to go back to school is a struggle with not having fast reliable internet to complete my degree online while working full time.

4/21/2018 9:30 PM

Roads and safety need addressed. Roads are crumbling and people are stealing trailers and all kinds of big items.

4/21/2018 9:23 PM

Rather than increasing ANY taxes, it would be preferable to utilize existing taxes more economically -- do more with what taxpayers already pay. Some areas of Thetford Township have no internet service available at all. Pricing is ridiculous for the services that are available to those who have service available. Consideration should be given to Township roads that are in terrible condition.

4/21/2018 9:13 PM

I think we need better cable options

4/21/2018 8:27 PM

Internet access

4/21/2018 8:21 PM

We are in desperate need of high speed internet. My husband and I work from home and it’s a nightmare. Our speeds are .4. .4!!! An average internet speed is 18.7!! How terrible! We only have one option which is TDS and when I called them they said hopefully in 8 years it will be faster. Are you kidding me?!?! Also we pay the same price as a person that actually gets high speed internet. When calling to complain they gave me an $8 credit per month. Again, incredible. We have considered moving out of a home that we love because this is such an inconvenience. I should have the same access to high speed internet that a person in the city does. Very very frustrating and I don’t know where to turn for help.

4/21/2018 8:09 PM

The potholes on my road have cost us thousands in repairs over the last several years. New tires, tie rods, struts and front end alignments. It’s bad all over and makes me sad the shape Genesee County is in compared to other areas.

If I am forced to keep my yard nice and have ordinances I’m that than maybe there should be something done about the plaza. The money will help get a jumpstart.
