Gloucester Stage Fort Park Shuttle Public Survey
The City of Gloucester & the Cape Ann Transportation Authority (CATA) are reviewing the Stage Fort Park Shuttle bus route to identify opportunities to improve bus service, reduce traffic, and make it easier to access Downtown Gloucester and destinations like Good Harbor Beach.
This survey is aimed at visitors, locals, and business owners who are interested in an improved summer shuttle service in Gloucester. Prior experience riding the Stage Fort Shuttle is not required to complete this survey.
We want to understand more about your experience traveling to and around Downtown Gloucester, as well as using the Stage Fort Park Shuttle (if applicable). Please take this quick 3-5 minute survey to help us identify what has been working well and what can be improved. Please see the map below showing the Gloucester study area and current shuttle route.
Thank you for your feedback! If you know of others who would be interested in providing their feedback, please pass this survey along.
I’m wondering if you could help circulate the attached flyer and this link to the survey – we’re hoping to get as many local residents, visitors, and downtown employees as possible to fill out the survey in the next few weeks.

After a wonderful Fiesta Weekend spent a couple of hours at the beach. So grateful. Saw a Starfish under the sea attached to a rock and felt relaxation with no anxiety.

Thank you to Caffe Sicilia for finding a way to honor Chris Dailey and give to the Chris Dailey Memorial Fund. “New latte releasing today!! Christopher Dailey, known to many as “Dails,” tragically passed away last July after sustaining injuries in an accident caused by a wrong-way driver. Chris was a lively, kindhearted, and free-spirited young man who was deeply loved throughout the Gloucester community. To honor his memory, Caffè Sicilia is introducing the Dailey Cup – a cookie dough latte, inspired by one of Chris’s favorite flavors. A portion of every purchase will be donated to the Chris Dailey Memorial Fund. Enjoy a special drink we know Chris would have loved while helping us celebrate his life and carry on his spirit. We love you, Dails!”

Here’s my “Wrap-Up” post celebrating Fiesta 2026 including some images that I just like which seem to express the spirit of the weekend. Once again, the Committee and volunteers did an outstanding job scheduling and running events to suit a variety of interests. Special kudos to the organizers of the seine boat races who had weather related challenges to deal with. On to the 100th next year!
