The KROSS/walk project wants your input on locations in Downtown Brooklyn and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Tell us about the safe intersections that make your walking and biking trips, that you make with your kids, better, and tell us about the unsafe intersections that make your trips worse.

These comments will be mapped and coordinated for Community Boards, local elected officials, our police precincts, to make positive changes and to Make Brooklyn Safer! The maps will also be useful to help choose routes when traveling on a new street or on the different path.

In trying to find a healthy and safe alternative to getting our kids around Brooklyn, we have found that making our local trips on bike and on foot allows for our kids to be part of the movement, literally. Brooklyn kids are on the streets getting to and from school, activities, sports, and parks. Brooklyn kids are meeting and greeting each other, and our streets are the places to meet, or the place in between it all. Brooklyn kids know the rules of the road, (cars rule!) and we would like to mix it up with your help. We all have our own routes that work for us, and there are routes we avoid. As a community we aim to make our streets safer by pointing out problems that concern us, as people who ride/walk/travel with our kids. You don't have to have kids to care about their safety.
