The Street Project dives deep into the troubling trend that emerged in 2010: pedestrian and cyclist fatalities on American roads have been increasing at an alarming rate, with pedestrian deaths rising 51% since their 2009 low. Beyond the tragic human cost, road injuries are projected to drain the global economy of $1.8 trillion between 2015 and 2030.
Through engaging interviews with renowned experts like Peter Norton (street historian), Jeff Speck (city planner), and Mikael Colville-Andersen (urban design expert), the documentary highlights the causes of traffic violence and offers solutions from real-world communities. The Street Project reminds us that streets are more than just transportation corridors—they are essential spaces where we connect, interact, and build communities.
This isn’t just a film about road safety; it’s about reclaiming our largest public spaces for everyone—whether on foot, bike, or wheel. You’ll come away inspired by the innovative efforts of people across the globe working to transform streets into places that foster connection and accessibility.
Skip the traffic—ride your bike to the event! The Vienna Community Center is conveniently located near the W&OD Trail, making biking the perfect way to attend.
Let’s gather to learn, discuss, and become part of the solution to making our streets safer for all.
