Healthy Savannah and the YMCA Lead Public-Private Partnership To Help Improve Neighborhood Infrastructure and Pedestrian Safety Issues

The “Activity-Friendly Routes to Everyday Destinations Neighborhood Plan” is administered by the YMCA of Coastal Georgia and Healthy Savannah through funding from the Centers for Disease Control’s Racial & Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) grant to address barriers to safe, active transportation and physical activity in priority neighborhoods by identifying and tagging areas of streetscape concern.

An initiative focusing on creating safer places to walk and bike within Savannah neighborhoods is seeking additional communities to participate in the program.
