Co-sponsored by Snow College and Cycle Sanpete, THE STREET PROJECT is an inspiring story about the global, citizen-led fight to make our streets safer.
In 2010, the small community of specialists who pay attention to US road safety statistics picked up on a troubling trend: more and more pedestrians and cyclists were being killed on American roads.
In fact, pedestrian deaths have increased 51 percent since reaching their low point in 2009. In addition to the loss of human life, it is estimated that road injuries will cost the world economy $1.8 trillion from 2015–2030.
THE STREET PROJECT is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer.
Digging deep into the root causes of traffic violence, the filmmakers engage a diverse array of experts including street historian Peter Norton, city planner Jeff Speck, and urban design expert Mikael Colville-Andersen. These expert interviews are interwoven with the stories of real people working to make their communities safer.
The Street Project film screening is especially important as Sanpete grows; it inspires awareness of responsible development that prioritizes the walkability, bikability, and livability of our communities. Let’s do it right the first time.
Mark your calendars and join us on March 22nd at 7:30pm to watch this inspiring 52-minute film. In the meantime, follow Cycle Sanpete on Facebook for discussions before and after the film.
