Paths of Desire: Walking Without Sidewalks

Saturday May 4, 3-4pm



Walking in Newport can mean navigating many streets with inconsistent sidewalks, which result in pedestrians making their own way. On this walk we’ll intentionally seek out those odd places where sidewalks end, paths created out of habit emerge, we walk in the road because the cars are parked on the curb and everything in between. Without going too deep into why the sidewalks are this way, we’ll explore how this kind of pedestrian experience feels and share strategies for making positive change.
