On Thursday May 18th, 2017 the Creating Healthy
Schools and Communities grant hosted a Complete Streets workshop, Community Design with Health in Mind, featuring
Mark Fenton. Mr. Fenton is a nationally recognized public health, planning, and
transportation consultant. 40 people attended with representation from many
different fields including Town Supervisors and Board Members, school
professionals, Town and City Planners, Engineers, Program Directors, community
members and more. The day started with a keynote presentation of Mark sharing proven
approaches and best practices, with a focus on Complete Streets and Safe Routes
to School using local examples. Mark led the group on a walking audit around
the City of Plattsburgh, stressing the importance of the 3 P’s; prosperity,
people and the planet. Mark showed the
group how to identify areas for improvement in their own communities and use
this knowledge to address issues and implement solutions.
