LMD Opinion Survey Results

In January 2022, the City of Poway and the Landscape Maintenance District Advisory Group (LMDAG) conducted an online survey of residents living in LMD 83-1 and LMD 86-1 to gather opinions and feedback on the state of the current landscaping at neighborhood entrances, roadway trees along Twin Peaks and Espola roads, and overall landscape maintenance within the LMDs. The survey asked residents about concerns and expectations they have for their LMDs and to identify what landscape improvements and enhancements would matter most to them.
