Imagine a Sleepy Hollow-Tarrytown where it is safe and enjoyable for children to walk (as well as bike) to local schools, or where the wellbeing of pedestrians is paramount in the downtown areas and in the design of our streets broadly.
It is in this spirt that Livable Tarrytowns, along with Bike Tarrytown, has launched a survey to ask people who live or work in the two villages to share their concerns about unsafe places to walk. Of particular interest are places where people cross streets (both where there are crosswalks or where they are lacking), and places where speeding is frequent. The survey also asks for respondents to offer their ideas to rectify unsafe situations.
The goal of the survey is to gather data that we will share with local officials, and to inform our work to improve pedestrian infrastructure so that walking (and bicycling) is safe and enjoyable, not least for our most vulnerable residents.
In addition to letting people know about the survey via various email lists, we are posting flyers around Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown that allow people to access it via a QR code (see below).
People can also access the survey via this link.
If you would like to print out and post flyers near where you live or walk, please email us at livabletarrytowns@gmail.com, and we will send you a .pdf of the flyer.
The survey will remain open until December 15, 2023.
