The Community Development Division Call to Action: Every Body Walk! Collaborative Micro Grants

Just an FYI about a call for applications for $2,500 micro-grants to help with walkability through AmericaWalks. Applications are due on October 15th.
Here are some of the types of projects that the micro-grants can fund:

Conduct a local social marketing campaign that engages people in ongoing walking events, activities or groups.

Provide people with point of decision prompts, such as take the stairs campaigns, to encourage walking/rolling rather than riding.

Establish incentives and rewards, such as walker discounts at local stores, for those that use active transportation

Create and mark walking paths, trails and routes, (e.g. use paint to mark a path on downtown sidewalks and put up distance signs)
