  • The Spark: Banishing Cars With a Block Party

    Pop-up events like the one in Berkeley, California, are proving to be effective in gathering feedback and advocating for safer streets for cyclists and pedestrians. By organizing temporary installations, organizations can demonstrate the potential of alternative street designs and gather data to support funding applications for long-term projects. In rural areas, volunteer-run ride programs like Free Wheelin' are providing non-car transportation options, but there is still a need for improved infrastructure to support active transportation. Conducting walk audits can help identify areas for improvement and lead to significant changes in a community's walkability. Overall, these initiatives are crucial in advocating for sustainable transportation solutions and creating safer streets for all road users.
