I walked around my neighborhood in East Central, looking for the good things that help create a healthy and connected community. I saw wide sidewalks that make it safe and easy for people to walk and bike lanes that encourage biking. The bus stop near the University of Utah is important because it connects people to school. I also found a crosswalk with a button that helps people cross the street safely and green spaces with trees and grass. This experience helped me look at my neighborhood in a new way, focusing on its positive aspects.
