VANDU’s eight month Pedestrian Safety Project has completed and produced its 84 page final report (download PDF) and appendixes (download PDF).
Over 80 community members participated in the Project’s initial data collection phases, which was followed by four months of daily community outreach to educate community members about their risks as pedestrian’s in the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood.
Altogether the Pedestrian Safety Project galvanized over 2,000 volunteer hours in undertaking this important community project. VANDU would like to take the opportunity here to shout out a big “thank you” to everyone who assisted in the Project’s success.
VANDU’s employed some creative tactics in its community education outreach to encourage motorists to drive more slowly and carefully through the DTES’s streets.
