2017 Chinatown Walkability Report
The Coalition for a Better Chinese American Community (CBCAC), with the Healthy Chicago 2.0 funding, engaged community members in thinking about how Chinatown's walkability impacts their health and wellbeing. With participation from high school youth, college students, seniors, ESL students, and the general public, CBCAC conducted a series of walkability audits and charrettes on safety, walking, and bicycling.
The goals were:
to identify key elements in the built environment that affect walkability;
to recommend strategies that improve connectivity, accessibility, and safety for all road users;
to support the Chinatown Community Vision Plan 2015, which outlined strategies for creating a higher quality of life for Chinatown residents.
