Many of our streets kill people
Many of our streets injure people Across San Mateo County, nearly 500 bicyclists and pedestrians are injured every year.
Our streets shape behaviors • Residents are 65% more likely to walk in a neighborhood with sidewalks. • People who live in walkable neighborhoods get 70 minutes more physical activity per week than people who live in non-walkable neighborhoods • People who live near public transportation are 5 times more likely to commute by transit than other residents in the same region
Streets should be great public spaces
What would YOUR GREAT STREET look like if it were designed for people?
