Over 3400 Take 10 cards were distributed to community members. The campaign website and tools are utilized throughout the community. Community Choices is sought out for technical assistance. Community engagement via the campaign is informing the work of the pedestrian advocacy work. For example, the "Share your Story" feature invites people to comment on how walkable their neighborhood is or isn't. |
