Sharing here on behalf of Liz:
I’m pleased to connect you with Gabriel Blanc, Toronto Outreach Coordinator at Toronto for WalkRollMap.org.
About WalkRollMap:
Walking and rolling can be wonderful ways to get around the city
– if streets and sidewalks are safe and accessible. For Toronto
residents who want to get around the neighbourhood safely,
WalkRollMap.org is an excellent crowdsourcing tool for walking or
rolling about in communities. Created with funding from the
Public Health Agency of Canada, https://walkrollmap.org/ maps
micro barriers to accessible walking or rolling not just in Toronto
but across North America and other countries as well.
Micro barriers are anything that makes it harder (or maybe even
impossible!) to walk or roll safely or comfortably in your
community. It might be a missing crosswalk, uneven payment, or
unplowed snow. You can also report if you’ve had a fall or been
hit while walking or rolling. This short tutorial helps you access
the site, report a hazard or concern, a missing amenity such as
sidewalk or bench or report an incident (collision, fall or near
miss): https://youtu.be/xl4mwfglA_0.
Gabriel is eager to partner to get the word out about this resource. Wondering if this would be of interest to the IRDC community?
