Key Dates
Homestead Road Walk Audit
The Vision Zero team invites you to join our walk audit on Tuesday June 17th from 2:00 PM-3:00 PM. The audit will be just under a mile from the Martin Luther King Jr Blvd at Homestead Rd Bus Stop, along Homestead Rd towards the bus stop at the Seymour Center, with the central meeting point being at the Martin Luther King Jr Blvd at Homestead Rd Bus stop. 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 email out to your neighbors and community members, please use this link! Thank you very much and we hope to see you there!
