You are invited to attend. Meeting each month, the Board establishes a forum for the sheriff s department, health department, county schools, traffic engineers, facilities management, planning and zoning, elected officials, AARP, and concerned citizens to develop strategies for creating a safer environment for pedestrians. There are also several local and state organizations working to create safer, more active streets and roads in Macon-Bibb County
Walking Audits A walking audit is an assessment of the pedestrian safety, accessibility, and comfort of a particular area. In addition to documenting specific issues and engaging the community in advocating for improvements, walk audits can be most effective when public officials and community members of varying backgrounds, ages and abilities are intentionally invited and welcomed along so they can experience and react to the conditions directly. The great new is that anyone can conduct and organize a walk audit.
