Healthy St. Mary Coalition's mission is to make the healthy choice the easy choice for St. Mary residents. One of the barriers for exercise can be safety. The crosswalk demonstrations in Franklin are designed to make crossing busy streets safer.
Tell us about your experience using Franklin's creative crosswalks.
Crosswalk demonstrations are usually short-term, low cost ways to show the community how the built environment might look if infrastructure prioritized all road users and not just motorized vehicles. The built environment includes all physical parts of where we live and work such as buildings, streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, and more. The built environment influences how much people walk, bike, and play.
