Creating Healthy Communities

Clark County Active Transportation Plan implementation (COMING SOON)

The CHC program has been supporting Clark County TCC with their Active Transportation Plan (ATP.) The ATP will focus on making walking and biking more accessible in the community, and recommendations should focus on serving users of all ages. Priority will be given to connecting community points of interest, popular commercial corridors, and areas that have a history of disinvestment.

                                                 What has been done to date?

• Tour of the study area
• Multiple committee meetings
• Analysis of existing conditions and opportunities
• Development of connectivity toolkit
• Online engagement via project website
• Development of initial recommendations for the plan

• Over 2,100 lbs. of vegetables were raised and distributed from the food stand;
• 14 beds total – 12 gardeners retained plus multiple Haitian-Creole families; and
• Multiple community events
