Walk your neighborhood
You never know what you'll see
Perhaps it's time to get out of our cars and air conditioning and away from the TV and walk around our neighborhood. And the simplist wayto improve walking in your neighborhood is to get out there and invite others to do the same.
• You'll get to meet more of your neighbors, perhaps people you have never met before and this will start building a stronger community
• More people will notice the issues in the neighborhood that you wouldn’t notice from your car
• When there are more people walking on the street motorists will be more aware of pedestrians and will change their driving behavior and reduce their speed
• More people out and about may reduce crime in the neighborhood
