Want to Assess the Neighborhood??

If you are interested in a summer project you can do with the kids, with elders or on your own, here are some resources for you. These links will take you to sites that have checklists for assessing how walkable and bike-able our area is.

Walking assessment for adults

Walking assessment for kids

Biking assessment

Why is this important?? Having a neighborhood that is built with walking and biking in mind helps to insure healthy and safe residents. With more people out and about, there is less crime, there is less pollution, and people just naturally get more exercise - reducing health problems and stress.

If you do any of these assessments, send a copy on to us. We'll use the information to convince city and county officials that we need public improvements... email us at district1council@aol.com or call - 651.501.6345.
