No one should lose their life simply moving through their neighborhood.
Every loss of life on our streets is a reminder that safety must be first priority in how we design and manage our transportation system.
Our thoughts are with the family of Lawrence Soeder, 58, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver this week while walking near the intersection of Davis Ave and Massachusetts Ave in #Pittsburgh’s Brighton Heights neighborhood.

Note: This recommended detour is still the same:
→ We have upcoming free trainings for you to get involved! (March 26, March 28, April 11)
-- Pick your favorite and sign up at www.pittsburghwalks.org/sidewalks
We are also working together with Pittsburghers for Public Transit, Riverlife, and other passionate Pittsburghers to train hundreds of volunteers to assess the quality & accessibility of every sidewalk in Pittsburgh, and record their findings using a mobile "app" developed by the City.
Here's some good context to add:
→ The Safe Sidewalks Crew is a shared effort! Pittsburgh Walks, a coalition formed with support from BikePGH, has worked hard on the launch of this sidewalk assessment project in partnership with Access Mob Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Mobility and Infrastructure.
🚶Happy to see this story get picked up! Even though BikePGH has “bike” in our name, we also advocate for the rights of our neighbors who walk and use mobility devices to get around.
~The ride is inclusive of trans, non-binary, and intersex people, cis women, genderqueer, agender and gender variant folks, as well as those whose gender identity falls outside of the dominant conceptions of gender.
Oh look, it's a bunch of our favorite people all getting together in one place!
