Pedestrian Review	Previous  Index  Next
	The purpose of a pedestrian review is to assess the quality of the walking environment in a chosen study area. Facilities, safety, security, aesthetics, pleasure, motorist behavior, and access to transit all contribute to making an area safer and more comfortable for pedestrians (refer to the Specific Design Guidelines in this document). Getting Started Select a study area or site for evaluation. Make a rough map of the study area. Maps are accessible through a variety of internet sites such as mapquest.com or multimap.com. Show destinations (like shopping centers, stores, schools, parks, libraries or other places that attract people) on the map. Select a time, date and starting location for the review. End the review at the same location. Provide a copy of this checklist and the map to everyone participating in the review. Conducting the Review Ask everyone to examine the checklist and the map to become familiar with the area to be reviewed. As each person walks, encourage the use of boxes on the review form as potential situations and issues are encountered. Encourage participants to write notes on the review forms and indicate items that are successful as well as areas that need improvement. Note locations of specific concerns or successful items on the map. Bring a camera. Take pictures of key areas or items that need to be remembered. At the conclusion of the audit, discuss the audits and findings. Take notes at the discussion and collect the completed forms from participants. Formalize the findings into a report.
