Last night I held a very informal meeting at my home for residents who were interested in making our streets safer to walk.
Only one person showed.
BUT...we started something. We talked about great ideas and our in the plans to petition our city for sidewalks on our block. We talked about wanting to know each other better and be more social but how we can't because our neighborhood feels so unsafe to walk.
We talked about the parents and people we saw driving through our neighborhood on their phones.
Next meeting I'm betting I get two neighbors. If that's progress, I'll take it.
If you are interested in doing the same thing please do!!
