Cartoon Tuesday: Livable Streets Lessons From P.S. 87

4:37 PM EST on December 2, 2008

This week's 'toon is a short Streetfilm of drawings from students at PS 87 on Manhattan's Upper West Side, where Kim Wiley-Schwartz of the Livable Streets Education program asked kindergarteners, "What would you do if there were no cars in the street?"

Livable Streets Education encourages students to explore and question the environments around
their schools and in their neighborhoods, and to voice the changes they
want to see on their streets. To find out more, contact Kim at 646-734-6486 or kwileyschwartz@openplans.org.
