PEDESTRIAN WALKABILITY
BIG IDEA
Go All-In on the First and Last Mile
The first and last mile of every trip should be safe , useful , and inviting as a pedestrian .
A safe pedestrian environment is the foundation of our walkable city , with complete sidewalks , lighting , and increased crossings to accommodate all ages and abilities .
This program focuses pedestrian investment along our mobility corridors and in activity centers to make our streets beautiful and inviting , with convenient access to our daily needs and mobility options .
Program Highlights
First and Last Mile :
