As a Main Street leader, you may have noticed a problem with how your streets are functioning and are eager to make a difference. Perhaps it is a desire to attract more pedestrians to your businesses or to support greater walkability in your district. Or perhaps you are passionate about improving equity through transportation access. Great news! By recognizing these passions and desires, you are already proving yourself to be a true advocate and champion for your streets. Keep up the momentum and make a point to really know your streets so you understand the root cause of your transportation issue before coming to conclusions. By building knowledge and partnerships at the beginning, you are setting yourself up for informed conversations with stakeholders, officials, and decision-makers toward more context-sensitive streets for people.
