People-first streets
and public spaces.
Streets Affect Everyone.
You cannot go on a walk, jog, bike ride or roll without interacting with a street or sidewalk. You cannot ignore the street in front of your home - it matters. But for much of the past century, planners and policy makers have marginalized people outside of cars.
By endangering our streets’ most vulnerable users, we increase divisions in our communities. Auto-dependency has cost countless lives. It has dirtied our air. It contributes to deepening inequalities. Let’s end it for good.
Changing the World is Possible.
Sweet Streets brings together residents, businesses and policymakers around campaigns designed to connect our neighborhoods and ensure the most vulnerable street users are at the table from the start of the conversation.
Reclaim Your Space.
Sweet Streets is open to all. If you’d like to join us, or have an idea for a new campaign, please let us know.
“While many different factors influence the safety of humans in cities, none matters nearly so much as the speed at which vehicles are traveling.”
— Jeff Speck, Walkable City Rules
Let’s work to build a city designed for everyone.
