3:00 pm: LightHouse + Vision Zero: Pedestrian Safety Forum (hybrid)


May 1

LightHouse is proud to once again partner with Vision Zero SF to bring our community another public forum! On Wednesday, May 1, we are continuing our insightful conversations around pedestrian safety. What does an ideal pedestrian-friendly city or community space look like? How can accessibility and inclusion for people who are visually impaired play a key factor in urban planning? We’ll be discussing the accessible measures San Francisco and other cities around the world are implementing to increase pedestrian safety, as well as dream designs for optimal pedestrian safe zones, neighborhoods, and city centers. Join us and be part of this engaging and informational dialogue!
