Our last tour of the season will be Saturday, October 12th. Only this time we will explore by bike! We will explore history, urban design, redevelopment, and your vision for the future of Downtown. Thanks to the Utah Heritage Foundation for contributing some of the historical facts we’ll share.

The tour is free with an activity planned specifically for kids (it’s cool, we promise!). Each participant will receive a pedometer and we’ll give away a City Connect Pass at the end of each tour (both courtesy of Visit Salt Lake).

Bring your own bike. A limited number of GREENBikes will be available for individuals to borrow. If you need a bike, please email molly.robinson@slcgov.com by 5 pm October 10th. Bring your smartphone to contribute to an Instagram photo journal of the tour (#downtownplanslc).

We are focusing on ways to make Mumbai walkable and pedestrian friendly. The attempt is to make city more inclusive and participatory and less tolerant to cars. It’s a walk facilitated by The Urban Vision in honor of Jane Jacobs, an American urbanism thinker and activist who promoted the idea of walkability in neighborhoods.

When is a walk more than a walk? Come with us and find out! Walkability is about health and fitness (Walk with a Doc and Every Body Walk!), urban planning and conversations (Jane Jacobs Walk) and road safety for everyone (Long Short Walk for Road Safety). This walk, on the day before UN Global Road Safety Week, will take us from historic Capitol Hill (Stanton Park, 4th & Massachusetts NE – meet at the statue!) to Constitution Gardens (Constitution Avenue and 17th Street, NW, along the northern edge of the National Mall) for free Yoga on the Mall! All are welcome – bikes, dogs, strollers, everyone! And remember, many of us are yoga novices. Come walk and talk about community, health, public health, transportation, gardens, cycling, kids, yoga, and more. www.mylongshortwalk www.everybodywalk.org
