Transform unappealing, unhealthy corridors that discourage physical activity and social interaction into vibrant, attractive destinations that catalyze further community development and investment. Blind Spots looks at the impact of unhealthy corridors, why communities all over the country have them, and what can be done to change them. It explores the land use and transportation decisions that give rise to and perpetuate their existence, as well as opportunities to use policy and practice levers to reshape them into community assets.
Heather Zaccarois the Program Manager for the National Complete Streets Coalition.
Though communities all over the country host under-performing and unhealthy arterial streets, until this study there had been no comprehensive look at the prevalence and location of unhealthy corridors, the conditions they share and the impact that they have on people’s lives, or the policy and practice decisions that give rise to and perpetuate their existence.
