PACE meeting and crosswalk action scheduled for Sept. 4
August 28, 2008 – 9:28 am
PACE will meet at noon on Thursday, Sept. 4 in the John Knox Room of First Presbyterian Church. The Church is located at 520 Washington Avenue in Savannah. Feel free to bring your lunch! At 12:30 We’ll move down the street to the corner of Washington and Waters avenues for a Crosswalk Action. What’s a Crosswalk Action? It’s a fun and friendly way to communicate pedestrian safety messages to walkers and drivers alike. Here’s a definition from America Walks:
A Crossing Action is an organized event in which a group of pedestrians repeatedly crosses a street in marked and/or unmarked crosswalks in a legal fashion, so as to communicate messages to drivers, pedestrians, media representatives and other observers. Members of the organized group carry signs with educational and advocacy messages. Crossing actions can involve as few as 10 or more than 40 people, but sufficient numbers are required to communicate the messages with strength and diversity.
Please come out and join us for the meeting, the Crosswalk Action. Or both!
