Vernon Seeks Volunteers for Walk Audit of Rockville

The Town of Vernon, through its SustaintableCT initiative, is seeking volunteers for a walk audit to evaluate walkability and pedestrian safety in the Rockville section of Vernon.

The project’s goal is to examine sidewalks, crosswalks and streets to determine how people get around Rockville and to find barriers to the safe movement of people of all abilities. The information gathered during the walk audit will be compiled and used to make improvements.

“The walk audit is an important tool we will use in our ongoing program to improve sidewalks and other pedestrian infrastructure throughout Vernon,” Mayor Dan Champagne said. “Carefully evaluating how pedestrians move through our community ensures we have a network that serves pedestrians best and keeps them safe.”

All are welcome and encouraged to participate in the walk audit, which will take place the week of Nov. 11. There will be a training session ahead of that date for volunteers to be briefed on the purpose of the audit and the methodology for gathering information.
