University City District (UCD) is asking community members who live, work or visit the area –  defined roughly as between 50th Street and the Schuylkill River, and from Spring Garden to Woodland Avenue (see map below) – to complete a University City Community Survey, which will help the organization to get feedback in its ongoing efforts to “improve quality of life within the neighborhood.”

The short survey, which takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, asks community members about what issues are most important to them and will help UCD’s future services, events, and offerings. To access the survey, click here.

The survey will close on Dec. 31. Participants may choose to be entered in a raffle to win one of five $100 gift cards to an area restaurant.

Founded in 1997, UCD has been partnering with local institutions, like the University of Pennsylvania, to invest in public safety and economic vitality of the area. Over the years, it has been organizing many popular events in the neighborhood, such as the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll, Movies in Clark, outdoor summer concert series, and more. It has also been supporting and promoting local businesses, for example, partnering with restaurants for the annual University City Dining Days.
