Walkable Albany July Meeting - Advocating for a safer Albany

Walkable Albany July Meeting

Walkable Albany is meeting on Monday July 1st at 6:30 pm in our usual location, the 2nd floor community room in the Albany Public Library located at 151 Washington Ave.

Some highlights from the last meeting:

• We discussed the rally, which was a big success!
• We did some "airing of grievances," discussing issues with crosswalks, including at the flashing yellow lights near CDPC. Also identified were the crossing at Broadway & Clinton Ave., the dirt path near Providence St by CDPC.
• Pearl Street is under construction, so be careful down there. New striping and ramps, but no bump-outs or new crosswalks.
• There was a great discussion about how to get local employers to encourage walking to work, and perhaps getting insurance companies involved.
• We are going to organize weeknight walking tours. We can involve local BIDs, perhaps elected officials, etc.
