Level of Effort: 5 minutes, at home, in your PJs

Deadline: Sun 6/21 11:59pm

Arlington is updating its plan for parks and other public spaces, and there are some real opportunities to improve the plan for trails! If you've ever wished that more Arlington trails were safely lit, or that more trail connections were being made in the County, this is a perfect opportunity to reach those decision makers.

So speak up today for prioritizing walking, biking and transit access to parks, improving trail connectivity, acquiring land needed to improve trail connections, and adding lighting to more trails!
