tate65,
It seems to me that you could make the question in your poll much better, to really help the city council.
You ask:
What % of your commute is on streets vs trials, paths, and MUPs?
This finds out what people actually do, but not what they WANT to do. Much of the decision may be decided for them by whether there are any MUP's or trails available to them. Does the city council really want to just be able to say their bike commuting statistics match other cities, or do they want to meet the real wants of the biking community, and indirectly encourage others to start bike commuting?
If you really want to know preferences, you might want to ask something like, "Assuming there was an MUP that wouldn't be much out of your way, what % of your commute would you like to do on streets vs trails, paths, and MUP's?"
Admittedly I don't really know what your city council is trying to get at, but it seems the answer to a question like I offered would be much more helpful.
Thanks for your efforts to try to improve things for the biking community down in Texas.
