Public Information Office

Community Survey. The Community Survey is being offered to assess how residents, business owners and visitors view services provided by the City of Pacific Grove. The confidential survey will be open to all interested parties via URL https://cityofpg.org/survey. The URL will be publicized via the City website, City social media channels, The City Manager's Report  - as well as printed and mailed to all Pacific Grove residents. Those who are unable to access and/or interface with a computer may receive assistance in completing the survey from the Pacific Grove Public Library (either by visiting the library in-person, or calling the library at 831-648-5762).

The survey will be open until the end of October, 2022. Following the close of the survey, the results will be tabulated and analyzed, with a report returned to the City Council at a November, 2022 meeting. Thank you for your interest and participation!

Proposed Skatepark Project. This year, City Council approved $158,000 of American Rescue Act (ARPA) funding to publish a community survey, complete assessments for potential sites, analyze feasibility, and draft a preliminary design for a proposed Skatepark. This multi-year project aims to, construct a 10,000 SF skatepark suitable for all ages, users, and multiple types of non-motorized wheeled riding. The community survey is coming soon! This will be an extremely helpful beginning step, as we collaborate with our community, stakeholders, public boards, and City Council.
