Pedestrian Safety Campaign - Interested?

Citywide Pedestrian Safety Campaign - Call for Volunteers
Do you care about pedestrian safety? Do you want to ensure that the roads of Saint Paul are safe for all users? Join us in building a citywide pedestrian safety campaign!

• An increase in pedestrian fatalities across the state prompted MNDOT to unveil a “Share the Road” pedestrian awareness campaign in the fall of 2012 (http://www.dot.state.mn.us/sharetheroad/ped/index.html). They have some materials available for use, but it's up to neighborhood groups to help spread the word! 
• Neighborhoods have developed their own pedestrian awareness campaigns in the past, but there hasn’t been a collaborative citywide effort.
• Street engineering and enforcement can help make the streets safer for pedestrians, but without education, it won't get us very far. 
• Everyone is a pedestrian at some point during their day, once they leave their car, bike, or bus. Why not make it safer for everyone to get around? 

Join us in building a citywide pedestrian safety campaign! We hope to bring together partners from all across the city to gain visibility and make a lasting impact and we need your help! Contact Callie, Community Organizer for the Macalester-Groveland Community Council atcallie@macgrove.org/651-695-4000 to learn more and get involved.
