Celebrating Livable Streets on the Day of the Dead

4:00 PM EDT on October 31, 2007

It occurs to Sean Roche of Newton Streets & Sidewalks that Halloween is, in a funny way, "America's walking holiday," with kids, parents and just about everyone heading out for an early evening stroll, chance run-ins with friends and neighbors, and no need to pull the car out of its parking spot. Happy Halloween, indeed.
