Help Us Spot Safety Concerns: Homestead Rd Walk Audit (June 10)

Want to make our streets safer and more accessible for everyone? Your boots-on-the-ground perspective is exactly what we need.

The Vision Zero team invites you to step out with us for a Walk Audit along Homestead Road on Wednesday, June 10, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

A walk audit is a hands-on way for neighbors, advocates, and staff to review street conditions together. We’ll experience the corridor as pedestrians, pinpoint specific safety issues, and collaborate on real-world improvements for people walking, biking, and rolling.
