What if the most powerful tool for changing your street fitsin your pocket?

In this People and Projects episode of the Streets and People podcast, we speak with public health specialist Lucy Saunders about the Healthy Streets App, It’s a simple 5-minute survey that helps you rate how your street really feels.

• Is it safe to cross? 
• Is there shade in summer?
• Can you walk side-by-side with a friend?
• Would you let your child ride to school?

Lucy explains why streets that “look fine” often fail thepeople who rely on them most — children, older adults, people with disabilities, and those without access to a car. We explore how small, practical changes can transform everyday journeys — and how community voices are stronger when they speak together.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to explain what’swrong with a street — this episode gives you a clear, constructive way to show it.

Because better streets don’t start with big budgets.

They start with people paying attention.
