Thursday, October 23 from 12:00 noon
This special “Vision Zero” walk will focus on safety on trails, streets, transit and sidewalks. Leading the walk will be Corey Hannigan, Active Transportation Program Manager with the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, which is a partner of Families for Safe Streets N.J. He is also the leader of the Circuit Trails’ Mercer County Action Team, chair of the Vision Zero N.J. Alliance and coordinator of the N.J. Trails Action Network.
Walkers will learn how trails can enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety in an urban environment as well as learn about Vision Zero’s goal of eliminating all traffic-related deaths and serious injuries. Walkers will travel busy streets and tranquil trails of downtown Trenton with two walking options: a short 1.2-mile loop along the Assunpink Creek through Mill Hill Park and the historic Mill Hill neighborhood, or a full 3-mile loop to the D&R Canal and the State Capital Park.
The walk starts at noon at the Trenton Transit Center, 72 S. Clinton Avenue. Paid parking is available in the Station Plaza Garage at 50 Yard Avenue.
