       The Cycle the Erie Bike Tour passed by today in Brockport... so
       the ECNA decided to do a voice of the customer survey on the
       Trail

       Just two questions is all we need to know if the "customer"
       likes the new improved safer Dam & Trail

       These folks from Albany stopped to get a Survey Card

       And these folks grabbed a survey link as well...

       And even Dylan from NY Parks & Trails Adopt a Trail Program
       stopped by to chat

       Hopefully the VOICE of the Erie Canal Trail user, especially the
       bikers will be heard... perhaps their voice will even reach the
       Stop the Canal ClearCut group who is still insisting on leaving
       the Erie Canal untouched.
       The STCC says they represent the typical "trail user that wants
       the old, unsafe, tree-lined dams to stay.
       Of the 450+ people the ECNA spoke with this morning, 325 took
       our survey card (all we had printed) and told us they LOVED the
       new look, the safe and more scenic trails... almost all said it
       was much better than they can ever remember.
       Almost all liked the changes and I do want to mention those few
       exceptions... it was only 4 people.
       Yes, a whole 1% of the people passing by said they liked the old
       view. Funny thing is though, they had STCC "Shade is Cool"
       t-shirts on or they were part of the STCC group and steered
       clear of the poll I offered, they seemed to know me by
       name..lol.
       One of the riders was a leader of the Stop the Canal ClearCut
       group, Ms. Ginny Maier, who had decided to ride with the Bike
       Tour back to her hometown of Fairport. She had a friend in
       tow...and both declined to take a suvey ticket but we see they
       are the two lone votes for the "old view" on our ECNA Website.
       All in all another great day for a bike ride or walk along the
       Canal..appreciate the new views...and have some fun.
       Sadly not everyone enjoyed the view of safer dams, a more scenic
       trail & canal... and plenty of sunshine for a nice Erie Canal
       sun tan.
