Walking Project

Walking is the lifeblood of our cities. The vast majority of us walk every day, yet it rarely receives the respect and attention it deserves. At the Walkable Cities Conclave, we will bring together experts and lawmakers to discuss the nuances of this issue and outline actionable steps for improvement.

We had a good meeting with the Deputy Chief Engineer, Roads (Western Suburbs) last week. He was courteous and receptive to the points we made. The following points were discussed: 1. We informed him about our work on SV Road and our keen desire to ensure that the entire 25 km stretch features the best quality pedestrian infrastructure. 2. We expressed our concerns about the unnecessary shoulder portion authorization occurring across the city. In several instances, it is preventing the widening of footpaths. 3. We expressed our disapproval of the new fiberglass black railings that are being installed at a rapid pace across the city. We pointed out, using pictures, how these railings restrict pedestrian use of footpaths and ultimately waste public funds. 4. The issue of trees was discussed at length, specifically how the concretization of shoulder portions is damaging trees, putting them under stress, and negatively affecting tree cover. We highlighted how this contributes to increased summer heat while walking, as the concrete replaces natural greenery along the shoulder areas. He has invited us to another meeting where we will make a more detailed presentation. This meeting was just a conversation starter. #WalkingProject #PedestrianInfrastructure
