BikeWalkKC

We practiced bike safety with our newest neighbors! Thanks to Della Lamb Community Services for inviting us to work with newly arrived refugees. It's such an honor to help people access daily necessities and important resources, build and maintain relationships with their friends and loved ones, and even find a little joyful movement and exercise on a bike. Let's do this again soon! #CompleteStreets #StreetsForPeople #VisionZeroKC #BikeWalkKC

Congrats and thank you for making a plan and funding real improvements for Topeka kids and families, City of Topeka Government!

Like I said in the interview, after 50+ years of building and rebuilding KC around the car, it's going to take a long tie to repair and restore. The Gillham-Trolley Trail Connector is a very big step forward in this long journey. https://lnkd.in/gZTVfhnX

Advocates, organizers, activists... Who does what, and when? Our own community organizer, Avery Jones, MSW, explains why it matters, and when to stop worrying about definitions and just do the work: https://lnkd.in/ghA57H_7 #StreetsForPeople #CommunityOrganizing #TransportationAdvocacy

Have you heard about our brand new Pedestrian Safety curriculum? In this school-based program, kids learn how to stay alert and watch for hazards when walking to school, parks , or even just around the block. We practice indoors with kid-sized portable stop signs, crosswalks, and cones before heading out to the real world to practice walking together as a group. YOU can help us reach more kids with walking and biking safety programs when you shop BikeWalkKC's Back to School catalog! Purchase a Pedestrian Bingo kit for a classroom, or a bike helmet for a child: https://lnkd.in/gTs2AHcg #SafeRoutesToSchool #PedestrianSafety #WalkToSchool #BikeWalkKC
