ALBANY HILL SURVEY

The Albany Hill Survey will help the City better understand current public engagement

at Albany Hill as well as community opinions of the hill and the Eucalyptus Project (CIP

No.41015). Links to the survey will be posted on signage at the hill as well as accessible

here. It is available in English, Spanish, and Chinese.

SURVEY: CITY STREETLIGHTING EVALUATION 

Do you have opinions about streetlighting in Albany? Community members are encouraged to participate in the City Streetlighting Evaluation Survey.

This survey involves gathering public feedback about lighting at select sites throughout the City. These sites have been selected because they are representative of different specific needs and current lighting conditions.  

Information gathered will be used to supplement detailed technical assessments performed by the City’s experienced consultant at the same locations. This will help inform future proposed lighting guidelines and potential improvements for the City’s streetlighting system.

The Citywide Streetlighting Evaluation Project (CIP No. 25008) is funded by Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure B Local Streets & Roads pass-through tax revenues.
