Healthy Streets

Ayla Heder

Come celebrate active living! This Sunday, Healthiest Ames will be hosting a Healthy Streets event 1-4 p.m. in downtown Ames. The Healthy Streets event embodies the concept of complete streets: streets that are bike and walker friendly to help increase physical activity, improve safety and better our environment. Participants will be able to experience complete streets for themselves. Traffic is non-existant, children can safely walk on sidewalks, transit is safer and active living is easier. There will be lanes solely for biking and walking. The event will also have free zumba, yoga and insanity classes throughout the afternoon. There will also be a bags tournament and big wheels races.
