We met over 100 people at Lotus House's helmet (and more) giveaway in the space of just an hour. Care packs of healthy food, living essentials, WalkSafe water bottles, sunglasses, and other items were distributed en masse to those in need.

The Village of Pinecrest partnered with the University of Miami's BikeSafe team on a federal Safe Streets for All initiative.

If you have a school-aged child, your 5-minute anonymous survey is exactly what this study needs. The BikeSafe team wants to know how your family moves through Pinecrest, how the walk to school feels, where you feel confident and where you pause. Every answer becomes a data point that informs real street safety improvements for this community.
