The city of Boulder is seeking feedback from community members on the state of Boulder retail as part of the larger Citywide Retail Study. A shopper questionnaire in both Spanish and English is designed to gather information from community members of all ages, incomes and backgrounds, asking: Are you able to meet your needs for basic goods and services within Boulder? How accessible are shopping areas to your home and work? What characteristics do you seek in a local shopping district?

In July of 2018, the Boulder City Council directed staff to draft a scope of work for the study that reinforces core values of the city: supporting retail that is welcoming and inclusive, environmentally and fiscally sustainable and promotes a sense of place.
