As pedestrians, we can naturally feel when a walking environment feels unsafe or unpleasant, but what exactly are the elements that lead us to those feelings? How do we best navigate these routes? Join us for a walking group based on the three big Cs of this walk: Curiosity, Commiseration, and Complaining. We’ll start at the Back Cove Parking lot across Preble Street from Hannaford in Portland, and end at Lincoln Park along Congress Street and Franklin Arterial. This walk will not be a tour; rather, it will be a lightly guided conversation and shared act of noticing. Trigger warning: the walk leader is also strongly and transparently anti-car-culture.
