Making Halton Hills walkable In June and July of this year, two workshops were conducted in Acton and Georgetown with the goal of understanding what constitutes a walkable community. Local partners in this endeavor included: North West Seniors Planning and Education Advisory Committee, Town of Halton Hills (Parks & Recreation and Traffic Services), Acton Agricultural Society and the Acton Fall Fair, Acton and Georgetown Seniors Centre, Acton Business Improvement Association (BIA), senior citizens from the community at large, local churches, Halton Regional Police Services, North Halton Injury Prevention (NHIP), Halton Region Health Department, and The Halton Hills Accessibility Advisory Committee. The workshops were facilitated through WalkOn, a community-based partnership including local Heart Health projects, municipalities, and public health units. It promotes walkable communities by raising awareness and public education and promotes the development of communities that support walking for transportation, health and recreation. The workshop included an audiovisual presentation stressing the need to change our focus from a car oriented community to one facilitating walking, cycling and accessibility. Why this change in focus? We have an aging population. It promotes healthier 5 PHYSIOTHERAPY Now offering early morning and evening appointments - call us!

Groups of six or seven people were formed and walked areas identified as most used for walking. We highlighted unsafe sidewalks, non-standard construction, signage problems, traffic, and foliage extending onto public walk areas, sufficient rest areas, and other obstacles. We discussed the obstacles or challenges to having these issues resolved. Each group had a top-five list of concerns and a top-five of challenges. These were displayed and commonalities identified. Issues were prioritized and a final report has been sent to the Town. You can help. When walking, be aware of these concerns and inform the Town for resolution. --Andrew Tutty is a member of the Town of Halton Hills Accessibility Advisory Committee Growing to serve you better.
