Safe Streets Petaluma

02/20/2026

I had to go get a passport photo, go to the bank to get money, go to the post office to send my passport application, and go home. And along the way, I burned a lot of calories, breathed the most refreshing air, and traveled through the sites and sounds and smells of my favorite hometown.

🚶‍♀️🚲🛹♿🐕
Check out this current sheet of USPS Forever stamps!

Look closely—you’ll spot pedestrians, seniors with walkers, people walking dogs, cyclists, skateboarders, folks in wheelchairs, roller skaters, people pushing strollers and shopping carts, and even someone popping out of a manhole. Oh, and of course… Postal Service trucks.

But here’s the twist: no cars!
Is the USPS giving us a little glimpse of the future? 🌱🚦
