After a delay due to the pandemic, we're proud to announce the return of our Neighborhood Walk Audits! The purpose of a Walk Audit is to empower community members to play an active role in shaping the infrastructure around them. By walking the streets, we'll be able to identify areas that are in need of repair and flag them for future improvements.

This is important, because safe and well-maintained walking infrastructure is part of what makes our community healthy. Walking improves heart health, mental health, and is a vital aspect of transportation infrastructure, especially for those of us who don't have access to a car. For this reason Walk Audits are an important step towards the goal of well-maintained walking infrastructure.

Our sixth Walk Audit will happen in the Westheight neighborhood on May 8th, from 10am-noon. We're currently looking for a few more volunteers. If you'd like the opportunity to get active while helping improve the infrastructure in your community, you can RSVP by emailing here or calling 913-371-9298 (ext. 8).

We'll be starting at the shelter at Westheight Park, which is near the intersection of 20th St. and New Jersey Ave. Social distancing and masking will be observed. We hope to see you there!
