Dear Arlington friends and neighbors,

In response to concerns raised earlier this month about the Envision Arlington Annual Town Survey’s accessibility for community members who do not speak English, we have translated the survey into three languages as a pilot: Simplified Chinese (简体中文), Spanish (Español), and Haitian Creole (Kreyòl Ayisyen).

We recognize that the survey includes several questions and can be time-consuming to complete. We will treat feedback on length and accessibility as valuable input for future improvements. If this pilot is successful, we plan to expand the number of languages translated.

The submission deadline is February 13. To ensure we hear from voices that are often underrepresented, we would greatly appreciate your help sharing the survey with any neighbors who would benefit from these translations.
