You can walk anywhere, if you have time.
Stephen Wright
Project name Walk [Your City]
Launch year 2012
Initiator City Raleigh (NC)
Leaders Initiator – active citizen Matt Tomasulo, further joined by walkers, community organizers and city planners from various locations
Goal Encourage Walk instead of using transport
Fact While 41% of all travel within the United States is within a mile, less than 10% of travel is by foot or bike
If the city of the 20th century encouraged residents to travel any distance and for any reason, the city of the 21st century is trying to return people to moving on two legs. In the book Walking City, Jeff Speck stated, “Give the opportunity to walk, and a lot of things will work out on their own.” Right. The economy, the health of society, the ecological situation – everything is found to be correlated with the desire of a particular area to support “pedestrian transport”. Only recently, after a 60-year break, we again undertook to build neighborhoods and cities where this is possible. As our book also shows, America suffers from a lack of walkable streets and neighborhoods, and the need for them is constantly growing: a recent study showed that in the generation of millennials, the ratio of the number of supporters of walkable neighborhoods to the number of indifferent is three to alone.
“Pedestrianism” is a shorthand for everything that makes up the area as a whole: the appearance of buildings, building density, human-oriented street design, multifunctionality, proximity to parks and convenient public spaces.
But what happens if all these factors are present in the area, but the majority of the inhabitants do not have the habit of walking? How to change the culture itself so that people want to “walk with their feet” again? On a cold and rainy night in January 2012 29University of North Carolina graduate Matt Tomasulo set out to find answers.
In 2007, Tomasulo came to Raleigh to write his thesis for a master’s degree in landscape architecture and urban planning. He found himself in a rapidly growing city where 425,000 mostly suburban people relied heavily on private cars. Because Tomasulo preferred to live in an area where driving was optional, he settled in Cameron Village (80 walking distance) close to campus. Shops were also within walking distance.
His first experience of tactical urbanism was participating with other students in Park(ing) Day, which is also held in Raleigh: this is an annual event when residents of different countries pay for parking spaces, but do not leave the car there, but create in this way miniature temporary park. This intervention, although short-lived, encourages passers-by to consider whether the streets can be more diverse, create new public spaces, and also reminds us of the negative impact that excessive dependence on cars has on society. At least, these are the stated goals of this movement.
However, Tomasulo found that the Park Day, organized according to the scenario of his classmates, did not bring the desired result, since the key element, the passers-by, was missing. “I remember thinking: Park(ing) day and even parklets won’t do anything if there are so few people walking next to them or in them,” Tomasulo explained. While Matt helped organize Park(ing) Day, his personal experience of participating in the event and what he saw as he walked around his neighborhood as a new resident led him to wonder: why do so few people walk? Tomasulo conducted a survey among friends, colleagues, neighbors and complete strangers. The unanimous response was: “Too far.”
The young man did not want to accept this explanation. When we in turn asked him what the average distance was, Tomasulo, usually very gentle, answered with sudden passion: “Oh, nonsense! I settled halfway between the university and the center, in a historic district that was really made for walking, and people refused to walk. They got into the car and even went to dinner – two minutes drive from home.
Tomasulo began to map the places that people most often mentioned in response to the question of where they need to go and how they want to get there. Is it really far? He quickly became convinced that most respondents would have to walk a maximum of 15 minutes to their destination, and often much less. And then he realized: the problem is not in the distance as such, but in feeling this distance.
While Tomasulo knew he couldn’t change city design, land use, or infrastructure overnight forever, he tried to change the misconception about distance by giving people more information. What happens if the city puts up signs with the names of the most popular places in the area, with arrows indicating the walking path, and signs on how many minutes it takes on average to get there on foot? It would also be nice to place QR codes on the signs so that everyone can instantly get all the necessary instructions.
Almost immediately it became clear that Raleigh City Hall had included many measures in its long-term plan to encourage walking, and that these measures were in line with Tomasulo’s wishes. However, something else immediately became clear: cooperation with the city authorities is expensive and takes too much time – to obtain a temporary permit for the placement of such signs, Tomasulo would need nine months of approvals, and this would cost more than a thousand dollars, along with liability insurance. Tomasulo had neither extra money nor extra time.
Then he tried to find a way to implement his project in a way that would be in line with the course of the city authorities, but without their official consent. After researching various sites, he discovered many ways to design partisan signs using cheap and lightweight materials. The entire work would have cost one-fourth the price of the authorized project—less than $300. Tomasulo chose weather-resistant Coroplast signs that can be secured with plastic ties to lampposts and telephone poles. Matt quickly sketched in his notebook. Signs were supposed to inform pedestrians and drivers how many minutes it would take them to walk to a particular goal. Tomasulo printed out 27 signs and, with the help of his girlfriend (now his wife) and a guest from California, went out on a rainy January night to put up his signs. He called this project “Walking on Raleigh”.
“I knew exactly what I was doing,” says Tomasulo. – I was extremely careful, avoiding the slightest damage to municipal property. I have been looking carefully at other projects on the web and I knew that you can not use glue, you need to leave the possibility to easily remove and remove these signs so as not to cause the slightest damage. Citing as an example the equally illegal real estate ads that can be seen everywhere in the city and on lawns and on poles, Tomasulo adds: “These ads are not at all aimed at the public good and nevertheless hang for months. Walking the Raleigh is at least a civic initiative that aligns with the city’s goals. I believed that the long-term plan for the development of the city speaks in our favor and that such marking has already become a desirable element for the city.
Tomasulo also took into account the need to promote his project and its objectives: “I knew what role the Internet could play in expanding the audience of the project.” Before going out to post signs, Matt purchased the domain name [walkraleigh.org] and created a platform to discuss the project on his Facebook page and Twitter. Tomasulo knew that QR codes would help track the number of people who paid attention to the signs. He also thought of illustrating the project with well-chosen high-resolution photographs – these pictures went around the world, they are also used on the pages of our book. “The illustrations help tell the story, and there is hope to inspire people to change. Although, to tell the truth, then we did not foresee what would come of all this.
The next day, the Facebook page received hundreds of likes and information began to spread in the urban blogosphere. Matt’s efforts caught the interest of Emily Badger, a journalist at Atlantic Cities (now City Lab). She named the project Raleigh’s Guerrilla Ways and included it in her work on tactical urbanism in general as one of the best examples. The journalist noted that “this trick has already attracted the attention of city officials who are considering making such signs permanent. This is the highest manifestation of tactical urbanism: a night out for enterprising citizens, which can ultimately lead to real improvements in urban infrastructure.
Of course, we have since realized that the “night outing” was not a “trick” at all, but a thoughtful and well-documented intervention, just calculated to encourage citizens to make a long-term lifestyle overhaul, and the city authorities to changing the face of the city. “Walking on Raleigh” – partisan sortie. It is also a DIY project. But the most important thing is act of tactics .
The Atlantic Cities article attracted interest from other national and international media outlets, including the BBC, which ran a report on “Making America Walk”. An important role in this material was assigned to Mitchell Silver, who at that time served as president of the American Association of Planners and director of urban planning in Raleigh. To secure his involvement, Tomasulo, who had never met Silver before, contacted him directly on Twitter. Silver responded almost immediately and, according to rumors, even changed his travel schedule in order to stay in the city and meet with journalists (subsequently, the head of the Planners Association admitted that if Tomasulo had written to him by mail, he would not have received this letter on time and even I wouldn’t have been able to answer it.)
Silver’s presence in the BBC story and the implied, if unspoken, approval of Tomasulo’s (formally illegal) act made this story a favorite case of pedestrian city supporters. This is a good example of how amateur actions for the benefit of the city, even initially unsanctioned, often quickly find patrons among people in power, and then the opportunity for long-term change opens up. Emily Badger, in a detailed article in Atlantic Cities, describes Silver’s proactive response in the words of the official himself: “Sometimes something happens that forces you to reconsider priorities. This is one of those cases where we were alarmed: “What’s going on?” It’s not about PR as such. Yes, you need to get permission for this kind of activity. But for the first time in my life I saw such a level of involvement of citizens.”
When journalists heard that the city authorities had not authorized the installation of signs, the question was of course asked: “So why are the signs still in place?” Formally, such a question is treated as a complaint, and this forced the authorities to remove the signs. However, the inhabitants of Roli protested at this point – they liked the signs. Sensing the growing dissatisfaction of the voters, the city authorities hastened to find a way to launch a similar program. Silver told Tomasulo that his action would be a “pilot project” for a comprehensive development plan for the city.
