Bridging Blocks | Streets for Everyone: Bikes, Cars, and Pedestrian Rights

In 2025, Philadelphia was recognized as the most walkable city in the U.S. for a third year in a row, according to USA Today and 10Best’s Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s also known to be one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country. Despite these accomplishments, concerns about the safety of people walking and biking in Philadelphia persist. 

What can city leaders, decision-makers, and advocates do to improve safety? What is, and can we find a balance for everyone who shares our streets? 

Join us for a community conversation to explore this challenging and often overlooked issue. 

This event will be live-streamed for attendees who wish to join virtually. A viewing link will be sent on the day of the event to all registered participants. 

For questions or additional requests, please contact Brisa Luzzi Castro ([email protected]) or Rushawn Stanley ([email protected]). We are happy to assist with any event-related inquiries.
