The workshops will begin at 3:00 pm, 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm and are approximately 1 hour in length.

Below is a gallery of existing images from Howard Gnesen Road (taken June 2022).

Looking south toward Walgreens and Arrowhead Road

2 blocks N of Arrowhead Rd looking north

Sidewalk just south of old Kenwood School

Sidewalk continuing north just north of old Kenwood School

Sidewalk currently ends at 600’ north of old Kenwood School, 1/3 mile north of Arrowhead Rd

There are several streets connected to Howard Gnesen Road that are dead end roads, making Howard Gnesen the only biking or walking option for residents on these roads as well

Road has no shoulder (looking north from North Road)

Residents find vehicle speeding to be a frequent problem. Safety for mail delivery vehicle is also possible concern.
