The benefits of walkability are many, and public demand continues to grow… But how can we prioritize sidewalks, the threshold of public life?

Join America Walks for a discussion with Michael Pollack, author of the new book Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America’s Most Overlooked Resource, which looks at the importance of sidewalks from numerous areas of law and policy, and their tendency to be overlooked by both governments and regular people.

America Walks will joined by Jill Locantore of the Denver Streets Partnership, which successfully convinced Denver voters to switch funding responsibility for sidewalks from property owners to the government.
