Join us & @WalkAustin to tell @TxDOT to fully consider community alternatives for I-35, not just another highway expansion.
Send your letter and ask at least 10 people to do the same. Public comment ends April 9th, so take action now! actionnetwork.org/letters/i3…
Check out the @WalkAustin final report to #aarp for our #2020CommunityChallengeGrant on our website: healthystreetsaustin.org/
“We love the street — we tell everyone about how great it is. It’s cool because it doesn’t matter what time of day it is, there’s always people, kids & dogs using the street. It’s great to be able to get out any time & it’s safer for everyone.”
-Oz & Ana, 78704 #healthystreetsatx
“We’ve been using it morning and evenings — we’re doing two-a-days. There’s just so much great architecture on this street and it’s so cool just to see all these beautiful houses. It’s huge there’s not a ton of cars to worry about while walking on it.”
#healthystreetsatx
“We take this street to get home on our walks. It’s so nice having a healthy street here. Having designated places to walk makes it more relaxing — especially to be able to socially distance from people.”
-David & Layla, 78751

"I think it’s so beneficial for the community and for the neighbors to get to know each other without having to worry about space and getting too close."

Great piece by the Friends of Ave G Healthy Street appearing in the Statesman over the weekend!

“My daughter just turned 5 and got a bike and learned to ride it here. When kids are first learning how to ride they kind of need to be in the middle rather than a small strip like a sidewalk. When the healthy street was set up we were able to teach her how to ride her bike."

Happy Halloween! What’s scarier than a ghost or ghoul? Unsafe mobility! Proposition B will transform safety and mobility in Austin. #yesonBatx
It's a beautiful day to end walktober and to get out and use the healthy streets! ☀️
