Sterling Heights got the statistical equivalent of a box of chocolates and bouquet of roses at a Valentine\'s Day special City Council meeting. The preliminary results of the city\'s resident survey were delivered to council on Tuesday, Feb. 14, and the news for council members and administrators was good. Wayne State University \'s Center for Urban Studies conducted the survey, which sent out questionnaires to 3,000 randomly-selected city residents. A whopping 95 percent of respondents rated Sterling Heights as an excellent or good place to live. \"Looking at access to affordable, quality housing, ease of pedestrian travel, sense of community and overall appearance, they were all rated excellent or good by a majority of respondents,\" said Kristi Tanner, a director of survey research at the university. \"Respondents were less satisfied though with the revitalization of commercial areas and job opportunities.\"
