We are the BEASTs and we plan to share our podcast advocating for more walkable infrastructure in Omaha because we value well-being for everyone. We have seen how a lack of walkability in our communities has affected us from almost being run over at work, to being forced to rely on cars or limited public transportation, to having poor sidewalks that make spaces inaccessible. In our podcast, we will first explore old avenues by understanding the causes of the problem, map the problem by exploring the effects of unwalkable infrastructure, and finally we will take steps forward by proposing ways to increase walkability in Omaha. By sharing this podcast, we hope to raise awareness for how unwalkable cities affect people’s well-being, as well as give people the tools and knowledge to advocate for better infrastructure. This collaborative endeavor will help make better infrastructure a reality.
