From November 14 to December 8, 2024, AARP New York staff and volunteers conducted comprehensive walk audits across the state. 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.
