REFLECTION QUESTION
Buildings and Cities Go for a Daily Walk

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

Veronica Lewis 4/13/2019 8:25 PM

I have really enjoyed taking walks every day, because it allows me to breathe in the air, something that I don't get to do as often as I would like. I like to look around and see the spring grow around me, and I think that really taking the time to watch that happen is important and helps me feel more positive in general.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transport Use Muscle Power
