The survey interviewed 835 people between 22 September and 2 October, with an overall margin of error of 3.4 percentage points at 95% confidence. Population growth drew 30.4% of responses and traffic 28.6%, while construction followed at 7.5%. Their narrow lead over each other should not be overstated. These are respondents’ priorities, not measurements of population change or congestion. The findings identify issues demanding public attention without prescribing particular solutions.
