How walkable is the Parkland neighborhood? 

Let’s get started…

A Walkability Assessment is planned along the 28^th Street corridor in the Parkland neighborhood.  Please join your neighbors to experience the walkability of 28^th Street from Dumesnil to Greenwood.  We will meet at Ebenezer Baptist Church for a brief orientation on the assessment and then form teams to walk sections of the area. 

The Walkability Checklist will include:

• Sidewalk problems
• Cracks, missing segments, rough pavement, street closings, curb ramps, pedestrian signals
• Barriers
• Telephone poles, ditches, parked cars, vegetation and other obstacles
• Amenities
• Benches, shade trees, well-maintained and planted streetscapes
• Safety Issues
• Adequate lighting, fast moving traffic, empty or vacant properties and any additional concerns

The Parkland neighborhood Walkability Assessment is hosted by:

Center For Neighborhoods, Parkland Neighborhood Improvement Association and the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement.
