…and the reality of having one

f the most dangerous

intersections for pedestrians in New Mexico

…and uneven sidewalks with dangerous hazards.

We recruited an Advisory Board made of decision-makers and

ther individuals capable of

supporting the work by removing institutional and political barriers.

We gathered data about health
utcomes and crime and created

a map highlighting concentrated problems.

Then hosted an ACTION LAB
