Last day to take Ravenswood survey

Today’s the last day to fill out Community Board 1’s Ravenswood survey. My understanding of this is: the CB launched the survey to create a point of reference when confronted with development in the area. The CB seems to define Ravenswood as Broadway down to 39th Avenue and Vernon Boulevard all the way past 31st Street. You can fill out the link here or go straight to the PDF with links here.

Update: But who knows when this really ends, though?
