The audit aimed to assess pedestrian safety and walkability at various intersections. Evaluators examined 160 intersections, focusing on the conditions of sidewalks, crosswalks, roadways, and crossing signals. The findings revealed that many intersections lacked essential pedestrian safety features, highlighting the need for improvements to ensure safer walking conditions for residents.
