26th Ward Walkability Workshop, H&CS Gets Results

As result of Housing & Community Solutions' efforts in collaboration with Alderman Frank Williamson, the 26th Ward received a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) technical assistance award from the Office of Sustainable Communities to implement and produce a Walkability Audit/Workshop on Tuesday, May 24th. The 26th Ward in St. Louis was selected as 1 of 32 communities out of 354 applications nationally to receive such an award and the only community chosen in Missouri. Dan Burden, who Time Magazine (2001) called "one of the six most important civic innovators in the world" for his work in liveable and walkable communities, led youth, senior residents and community leaders on walking tours of some key streets and areas in the ward including the Delmar MetroLink station and the Great Rivers Greenway Districes St. Vincent Greenway.
