PODCAST: MICRO-MOBILITY AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS IN NORTHVIEW
Resident and advocate Dominique Saunders talks with host Nick McNamara about bicycle/pedestrian system and transportation equity in the neighborhood
Welcome and thanks for checking out the first Notes From Northview: podcast edition.
This podcast and larger Notes From Northview project is part of an exercise in hyper-localism. With so much focus on national and even state news, sometimes less of a light is shined on the people and events right in our own backyards.
For our debut episode, I spoke with 11-year Northview resident Dominique Saunders. Originally from the Denver-area in Colorado, Dominique has lived on-and-off in the Manhattan community for 24 years, and raised a daughter in that time.
Dominique has been involved with community advocacy and engagement work for around four years now. She’s a working group member of Northview Rising and a volunteer member of Bike Walk MHK. And recently she met with me via Zoom to discuss bicycle and pedestrian accessibility in Northview. The topic has come up as an issue in numerous conversations with residents, and Dominique spoke with me about their impact, some changes they’ve seen over the years, and what’s next to be done.
