Q. The FDD Survey that was sent to all locations with a FDD indicates that the survey could be "Completed in Person" at focus group locations on lap stop stations. In addition these focus group meeting dates were to be announced on AnnArborNews.com, AnnArborChronicle.com, Treetown Log, and neighborhood newsletters.  Were any of these focus group meetings actually held? What locations? How many participants?  Did the "announcements" as noted above actually occur? 

A. Announcements of the survey and its purpose were distributed to the media outlets. We have not scheduled or announced any focus groups yet. At the start of the survey we projected a need for focus groups because we were not confident about achieving our goal – 500 surveys returned (which would yield a 95% confidence/4% margin of error result). As of today, we have received more than 600 responses, so we don’t need a focus group for obtaining more responses.  However, we are considering organizing a focus group or two around specific topics that are emerging in the returns. We are loading all the responses in a database. In early January when all results are received and compiled, we will begin analyzing the results and determine next steps.
