Join us for a community walk audit in downtown Hagerstown. What is a walk audit? A walk audit is where a group of people walk around an area and rate how walkable it is, meaning how easy and pleasant is it to walk there. We hope to conduct walk audits in downtown areas around Washington County and we’re starting with downtown Hagerstown. The goal is to assess how walkable Washington County is and to find ways that walkability can be improved in the county.
Free breakfast will be offered at 7:30am at the Washington County Chamber of Commerce at 1 South Potomac St.
The walk will start there and begin at 8:00am. The walk is about a mile and will incorporate part of the Hagerstown Cultural Trail
Everyone is welcome to participate!
We hope you’ll join us for this fun community walk!
