Have you noticed hazardous sidewalks in your neighborhood or near your school or place of work? Are sidewalks broken, obstructed or missing sections? Do wires, parked cars, tree roots or other hazards create tripping hazards or block your way? By reporting these hazards in May, you could win prizes!
PEDS encourages you to use our online tool to report sidewalk hazards from May 1 through May 31. Local governments rarely engage in proactive sidewalk inspection, which means your involvement in reporting hazards is a critical first step toward improving safety. The recent storms brought down numerous trees and wires, which makes your help especially important at this time.
The more hazards you report during May, the more chances you have to win prizes. PEDS will hold drawings for cash and other prizes on May 16 and May 31. Check peds.org later this month for details on how to participate.
