Communities can make active living easier and more inviting. We encourage infrastructure changes such as adding way-finding signs, bike racks, bike lanes, wider shoulders and other improvements. We also encourage support for making walking easier by adding sidewalks, especially if they connect playgrounds, parks or other amenities.
