Parents slowed down. Neighbors stopped to learn more. Kids walked with confidence.

It showed what’s possible when we design for people, not just cars: connection, not chaos.

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.

Our planning team recently invited others Trailnet staff along for a walk audit, where we observed the streets around a school and took notes: Are sidewalks wide and even? Are crossings visible? Is it safe and comfortable for kids and caregivers to get around? Are there curb cut outs?
