So How Did Salem Do In October?

SALEM, MA — Everyone loves Halloween in Salem, expect for some people who live here. It can be a tough month for those who live and work in the city. So the city wants to know what you thought.

Click here to take a survey to sound off on how the Haunted Happenings and Halloween was handled in Salem. The survey seeks feedback on the events, public safety response, public information distribution, potential city policies, and more. You can fill out the survey until 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 10.

"We worked hard to incorporate public input and feedback from our residents into our Halloween and October planning every year," said Mayor Kim Driscoll. "New for this year we added event staff personnel at key street crossings and public gathering points, launched a satellite parking and shuttle service that helped remove thousands of visitor cars from our roads, and made modifications to improve our public safety responsiveness in a pro-active and strategic fashion. In all, Halloween 2017 went extremely well and that was in large part due to the input – and patience – of Salem residents. I hope all residents will take a couple of minutes to complete the survey so we can continue to improve how we manage October in the years ahead."
