The City of Dover and the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey in July of 1991 in efforts to try and help attract new business to Dover. The 21-question survey was mainly based around commuting to businesses, the parking situation downtown, and whether or not the businesses in town in 1991 were satisfactory to citizens. The feedback was interesting, and some of it still holds true today.
When asked what businesses or services would you like to see in downtown, the respondents said clothing stores, books, tapes and CD's, news/magazines, toys, gifts, crafts, groceries/gourmet, sports, more restaurants, and specific stores were requested such as TJ Maxx, Limited, GAP, Marshall's, D'Angelo's, and Benneton.
The final question of the survey asked if there were any other suggestions on how to improve downtown, and most of the comments concerned parking and traffic. Some of the comments were more parking needed, more convenient parking, need a parking garage, tickets are too high, eliminate paid parking, traffic is congested, it's hard to get across the street, and it's dangerous to drive down Central with cars backing out.
