NEW HAVEN — Mayor-elect Justin Elicker would like to hear from residents about their ideas for the future of the city.

Elicker’s transition team has set up a survey, available in both English and Spanish, allowing members of the public to offer input and feedback before the new Mayor is inauguared on Jan. 1.

The survey asks for residents to submit ideas connected to a series of aspects of city government, including budget and finance; city operations and public works; community engagement, responsive government and transperancy; culture, arts and libraries; education; the environment and climate change; health and housing; human services and immigration; jobs, re-entry, workforce development and workers’ rights; planning, transportation, workforce and economic development; and public safety.

There is also an “other” option for residents interested in sharing their thoughts on another subject.

Elicker and his transition team held their first public meeting with community residents Nov. 16.

A second public meeting is scheduled to be held Sunday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m. in the High School in the Community, located at 175 Water St. in New Haven.

Those interested in taking the survey in English can participate through this link. Those who would prefer to communicate in Spanish can click here.

The survey will remain open until Dec. 3, officials said.
