Heal and Be Healthy is sponsoring an initiative to encourage West Point City to build a walking path corridor along the main streets of West Point.

Benefits from this corridor will include:

Enhanced Community and Reduced Congestion: A slower speed limit and the presence of a walking path can foster a more community-oriented atmosphere. Residents would be more likely to walk, bike, or jog along the corridor, promoting interaction and creating a more vibrant space. This can also lead to reduced traffic congestion, as fewer people would be using 300 North with the new highways.

Increased Property Values and Economic Benefits: Studies have shown that slower speeds and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure can lead to increased property values along the corridor. This can attract new residents and businesses, boosting the local economy. Additionally, the presence of a walking path can encourage people to explore local businesses and amenities, further stimulating economic activity.

Overall, implementing a slower speed limit and a walking path on the corridor can bring numerous benefits to the community, improving safety, accessibility, and economic well-being, especially with so many schools in the area where children need to walk to and from. Overall, It can create a more vibrant and livable space for residents and visitors alike.
