S. Elliot Road Walk Audit - 5/7

The Vision Zero team invites you to join our walk audit on Wednesday May 7th from 2:00 PM-3:30 PM. The audit will be just over a mile running along S Elliot Rd, from the Whole Foods in Village Plaza to Ephesus Church Road., with the central meeting point being at the corner of S Elliot and Alexan Ct around 81 S Elliott Rd. A walk audit allows us to assess the conditions of the street, identify safety concerns, and develop potential improvement in this area. I will be sending out a corresponding calendar invite for this event for those interested in attending. If you would like to send this invite out to your neighbors and community members, please use this link! Thank you very much and we hope to see you there!
