About Sidewalks

Sidewalks Improve SAFETY.

4500 pedestrians are killed in traffic crashes in the US each year. 8% of these deaths are “walking along the roadway” tragedies, and 88% could be prevented by SIDEWALKS.

*Statistics provided by the US Dept of Transportation Federal Highway Administration

Roads without sidewalks have double the pedestrian crashes as roads with sidewalks.

“8 in 10 Americans prefer being in a community with sidewalks and good places to walk.” ~AARP.org

Sidewalks Build COMMUNITY.

Walkable streets bring people together bridging age, race, and economic gaps. In a busy world, we often don’t know our neighbors, and sidewalks are a wonderful place to make new friends, start conversations, network, and enjoy common ground both literally and figuratively. One study found that people in walkable neighborhoods had 80% more “social capital” than car-dependent neighborhoods.

Sidewalks Promote HEALTH.

Research shows that people choose to walk for recreational purposes when comfortable facilities like sidewalks are provided.

Walking is one of the easiest, most beneficial forms of exercise, while inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide.

For people over 60, walking just 15 minutes a day can reduce the risk of death by 22%. A 30-minute walk burns 100 calories, and for every 12 blocks walked, your risk of obesity drops 4.8%. Regular walking may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and colon cancer.

“People who live in neighborhoods with sidewalks are 47% more likely to be active for at least 39 minutes a day.” ~AARP.org

Sidewalks Lead to HAPPINESS

  • People who walk 8.6 minutes a day are 33% more likely to report better mental health
  • Walking boosts creative output by 60%.
  • People are more productive, have better memory, and make better decisions after exercise.

Sidewalks Help RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE.

For local Jewish community members who don’t drive on the Sabbath, sidewalks make visiting family and friends possible in a safe and convenient way.

Sidewalks Increase PROPERTY VALUE.

When neighborhoods are safer and more accessible, property values rise. Pedestrianizing a street can make home values go up $82 a square foot. According to a 2009 CEOs for Cities report, even a one-point increase in a community’s Walk Score could increase home values by $700 to $3,000.

I agree that sidewalks in the Stevenson Rd./Old
Court area of Pikeville a safer and better
community for all who live here. I am not
traditionally Shomer Shabbat, so when I drive on
Shabbat I know to be extra careful, but not all
driving through our neighborhood do. I remember
having to re-route during Yom Kippur (I was
driving home from Kol Nidre) because a pedestrian
was hit and emergency crews had to come out. We
need sidewalks for many reasons, but safety for
our community on Shabbat and Yom Tov must be a top
priority.

I've lived near the intersection of Old Court Rd
and Stevenson, walking to synagogue weekly to
Darchei Tzedek. Many close calls with cars,
particularly up and down the hill on 7 mile
between Old Court and Stephenson. As more Sabbath
observant families move into the community, the
need for sidewalks has become critical. Happy to
give up some of my property for safety

As an avid sidewalk walker, I frequently am
walking sidewalks. Specifically the sidewalks at
the Seven Mile and Old Court intersection. Or I
would if they existed. Sidewalks help keep our
drivers, pedestrians and children safe and the
Seven Mile/Old Court area is NOT safe AT ALL.
Please help keep our community and children safe
and work with us to get sidewalks and safety a
prominent part of our lives.

I don't live in Pikesville but live in Baltimore
County District 1. That being said, I bike through
this neighborhood regularly and while the
conditions are bad for cyclists it's obvious they
are even worse for pedestrians. It's a shame that
such a vibrant residential community doesn't have
safe sidewalk infrastructure.

I just moved to the area, and can immediately feel

Rolf Sjogren rol****@h******.com

Pikesville needs sidewalks and curb-bordered roads
with shoulders wide enough for bike-lanes -
everywhere! Pikesville is very bike-able - not
especially hilly - but entire neighborhoods are
out of reach to any mode of transport aside from
cars. It's 2022, absolutely shocking that
neighborhoods built in the 1960s were never
equipped with sidewalks or bike lanes, and
Stevenson Road is especially hazardous to
pedestrians and bikes, most egregiously from I-695
to Halcyon Road - an area which is densely settled
but all but impassable to pedestrians & bikes.

high
Stuart Strauzer stu***@g****.com

I have kids who love to walk, run and ride in
their neighborhood but it's so anxiety provoking
to let them because shoulders are so small and
with no sidewalks they're in danger from the
frequent dangerous drivers on our street who
surpass the super limit regularly. With schools so
close it would be amazing to walk them to school
but it just seems obvious that this is important
with so many children in the area.

bunch of links won't solve the issue in this case,
and a more comprehensive strategy is required.
Google has undergone significant changes over the
past year, making it nearly impossible to compete
for favorable rankings without a well-designed

I walk down 7 Mile road from Old Court road every
week to go to synogauge. Not only is it "unsafe"
because of the lack of sidewalks, it's downright
TERRIFYING. This area is an accident (and
possibly worse) waiting to happen, as traffic
heading over the hill cannot see pedestrians
walking in the road. WE NEED A WALKWAY THERE

NotCoin was my first Web3 app, and I was able to
make real money without investing a dime!
Initially, all I had to do was tap on a coin to
collect rewards. Once I had enough tokens, I
exchanged them for real cash - about $500 over two
months. It was the perfect way to dip my toes into
the world of crypto. The earning model has since
shifted. Now, users can earn NotCoin by completing
simple tasks like subscribing to channels or
viewing ads. Its still super easy and accessible -
especially for anyone looking to explore crypto
without the risk or need for upfront investment.
