Stroll to Aptos VIllage
Aptos Village Green Aptos Village Way, AptosFriends and neighbors, join us for a Stroll to Aptos Village! It's easy to participate! Just pick your starting point, choose your route, then walk or bike safely to the Aptos Village Green. When you arrive, we invite you to take a brief survey, meet with representatives from local pedestrian safety agencies, enjoy a snack from our event sponsor, New Leaf Community Market, and win prizes from Aptos Village merchants. We’ll send you home with information to audit your return trip and future walks you take so you can report pedestrian, bike and road hazards. We are excited to announce that this year’s stroll is being funded by a generous grant from America Walks. https://americawalks.org/ Welcome at 10:00 am, prize drawing at 11:00! The goal of the stroll is to increase awareness and accessibility for all non-drivers, and specifically students, seniors, transit riders, families, and those with mobility impairments. Commuters face a very challenging drive as traffic backs up through the Aptos choke point on both sides of Highway 1. Those who opt to use Soquel Drive through Aptos Village add to the congestion of locals trying to reach village businesses. Each of us who chooses to take our car off the road want drivers to appreciate this by respecting pedestrians and cyclists who use much less road space than a vehicle. Increased safety measures will help remind them to do so. Aptos residents love to walk and ride bikes and we want to do it safely. Please join us!
