Do you live near Boston? If so, have you heard of Walktoberfest?
The nonprofit advocacy group Walk Boston recently led a walk from Boston to Cambridge. The main mission of the event was to show residents how easy and safe it is to move around the city.
“It’s really more getting people out to see how easy it is to walk around,” says Wendy Landman, executive director of Walk Boston. “Every way we can, we’re always sort of thinking about how we get this message out there.”
Since 1990, Walk Boston has dedicated itself to improving walking conditions in cities and towns across Massachusetts. While Walk Boston works with local policymakers, business leaders and professionals on pedestrian access projects, it also trains local residents to be advocates in their own neighborhoods.
This weekend will be beautiful weather to get out and walk Boston. For more information go to http://www.walkboston.org/
