Coming Up: Walk Audits

What’s a walk audit? Walk audits are on-site conversations about specific traffic concerns that have been brought to Bike Durham's attention. These guided small-group tours typically last between 90-120 minutes and follow a pre-determined route through the neighborhood. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Who should go? You and your neighbors of all ages! Bring the family.

These small-group tours will:

  • Invite neighbors to come together to share how speeding, visibility, and other safety concerns impact their day-to-day activities

  • Provide guidance to the City of Durham so that poor safety conditions are addressed in a comprehensive manner (conditions will be documented as we walk)

  • Occur both on weekdays and weekends to observe conditions like rush hour, school pick-ups, errand-running, etc.

  • Span Old West Durham and Watts Hillandale (broken up into different routes)

The walk audits previously scheduled for May 13 have been rescheduled as follows:

  • Mon. May 16, 5 p.m. E.K. Powe (meet by the school sign on Ninth St.)

  • Wed. May 18, 5 p.m. Indian Trail Park (meet in the parking lot)

These routes were designed to study access to area amenities such as parks, schools, shops, and restaurants. Additional areas of the neighborhood are being documented, but may not be included in these walks.
