As we go into this season of thankfulness, we’re reflecting on the many ways our community shows up for one another. At Trailnet, some of our work is joyful & celebratory, and much of it happens quietly, through planning, research, collaboration, & conversations that move us toward safer streets.

Every child deserves to walk, roll, and ride to school safely. Last week, we joined Baden-North Pointe Neighborhood Planning and community volunteers to show what that safety could look like — with freshly painted crosswalks, bump-outs, and a bike lane right outside an elementary school. 1/2
A adult walking two school-age children across a crosswalk. A man in a high visibility safety vest walks them across with a stop sign in his hand. Another man is walking crossing the opposite direction. A child is painting with yellow paint on some temporary paint for a traffic pop up, demonstrating how a crosswalk would make the community safer. A gold and blue sign that says: Riverview Traffic Calming Pop-Up Demonstration. Wednesday, October 15 2-5pm. PlanSTL and Baden North Pointe Neighborhood Planning.
