This 3rd annual community event was held on Saturday, September 29 at the Ezra Prentice Homes on. Pearl St. This is one of the least safe streets in the City of Albany with a constant stream of high-speed cars and heavy trucks.
There were opening remarks followed by a walk with about 25 participants and some Albany Police Department e-bicycle-mounted escorts along S. Pearl St. to the Helderberg Hudson Rail Trail. Other activities included DJ Supreme, fresh fruits, healthy living tips, a Y-infor table, and a Capital District Transportation Committee safety and trails exhibit. Walk partners included Qazir Sutherland’s Family, A Village, Capital District YMCA, Albany Housing Authority, the City of Albany, Albany County Department of Health, Albany Police Department, and Capital Roots with media support from the Albany Bicycle Coalition.
What better way to relax after a morning of community organizing than a cinnamon bun and coffee at the 3 Fish Café?
