The folks at Seattle Department of Transportation working on the Pedestrian Master Plan are looking for stories that will help tell the public (and decision-makers alike) why we need to support the Pedestrian Master Plan, pedestrians, walking, and walkability.
All of us have you all have stories that describe people who are stopped from accessing basic amenities because of our infrastructure, people who live in dense housing not supported by the basic infrastructure needed, stories about living in a car culture and why it’s important for us to turn this around.
Here’s what to do (summarized from an email from Jennifer Wieland at SDOT):
“Write down the story or stories most important to you. The written version doesn’t need to be anything fancy — a paragraph or two would do nicely. If you have an image to go with your story, even better. We’ll take care of all the formatting and editing on this end.
The turn-around time is a little tight, as it would be great to have these by next Wednesday, March 25.
Thanks in advance for your help. Including some of your stories will help us to make the plan more tangible for people, and you’ll be an important voice for those who aren’t always heard.”
Send them to rebecca.deehr@gmail.com by March 25th and she will forward them all in one to Jennifer.
