The Palo Alto Community Survey is a feedback tool that helps the City Council and City staff understand community perspectives on current services and programs, as well as unmet needs and priorities. The survey was initially sent via mail on August 13 to a random sample population of resident households. On September 15, the survey opens citywide.
Eight magnolia trees in front of City Hall were temporarily to a striking shade of cobalt blue as part of this environmental art installation. Artist Konstantin Dimopoulos worked in partnership with community volunteers in May, 2018 to color the bark blue on eight magnolia trees on King Plaza with an eco-friendly, non-toxic colorant. The socially-driven art project is designed to spark lasting discussion about global deforestation in urban environments. The installation remained on display through March 2020.
