Join AARP Wyoming, Strong Towns, and the City of Laramie for a walk audit of our neighborhood!

They will be covering three areas of town and want a variety of people, ages, and adaptive device users (walkers, canes, wheelchairs, bikes, strollers) to participate, so that when the areas are redesigned, they work for everyone.

It's no secret that our Civic Center corners could use some love. Join the conversation on October 2nd at 1 PM. Find more details in the flyer attached or contact Jennifer at [email protected].

We hope to see ya on the street!
