Join Transportation Alternatives and AARP for a series of Walk Audits on Canal Street.

How can our streets support the needs of aging New Yorkers? What does a safe street look and feel like? What designs, decisions, and conditions help make our streets safe and vibrant for New Yorkers of all ages and abilities! What conditions on Canal Street make this a particularly hostile corridor for pedestrians?

Join Transportation Alternatives for the fourth walk in their eries of AARP Livable Neighborhood Community walk audits to understand Canal Street's current challenges for aging New Yorkers. How can the design of our streets support a sustainable public realm for Canal Street's neighbors?

The Fourth and Final Walk, A Green new Canal Street, will highlight environmental risks along Canal Street for aging New Yorkers. We will explore how flooding, heat, and stormwater management pose particular challenges for the community.

These walks will focus on the needs of aging New Yorkers and their advocates, (ages 50+) but are open to all!

Accessibility Info: We will be on our feet after sundown, covering about .25 miles of walking over 2 hours. We will have a rest area for breaks with seating. We will have lamps and flashlights available.

Walks will take place in rainy conditions.
