Here are some ideas about what your answer could have included:

 

Challenges:

• There is only a sidewalk on one side of the street, but it is on the opposite side from where Niels wants to go.

• There are no crosswalks visible that Niels could use to safely access the sidewalk. 

• Potholes and uneven surfaces pose tripping hazards. 

• There are no curb cuts to get onto the grass area on the side of the road.

 

Design strategies:

• Pedestrian paths and sidewalks: Maintain roads to reduce tripping hazards, including from roots and cracked pavement. 

• Pedestrian paths and sidewalks: Design accessible sidewalks on all streets to connect people to where they need to go.

• Pedestrian crossings: Provide pedestrian crossings at every block, and install mid-block crossings on long street blocks

​

Policies: 

• Street design guidelines 

• Accessibility plans and age-friendly strategies
