We've to date now worked with 70 different cities.
We're in Jacksonville, Florida now, and Naples, Florida, Phoenix, Arizona.
Tempe, Arizona, Riverside, California.
It's really taking off, but it's only for cities that want to try something new and are tired of trying the same old memes and trying to get people healthier.
Well, there's two questions there.
So walkability, there's something called a complete streets policy package.
And essentially that is a city council agrees and the city planner agrees that every new street, about once every seven years, a street is completely redone in a city.
And they're on kind of a rotating schedule.
But Complete Streets essentially helps the city make sure that when the street is up for redesign, that a bike lane, a sidewalk, trees, and safety.
So in other words, it's not just a pathway for fast cars.
It's a place for humans to move around to.
Adopting that policy is the first and the biggest.
And then once you adopt that policy, we can bring in experts that help the city planner plan for walkability.
And by the way, that saves money over time.
We all think we want to drive places fast, but when you close your eyes and you imagine a street with cars whizzing by at 50, 60 miles an hour and the smell of their exhaust,
and the stress that it generates and the danger for us and our children, we actually don't want to live in a place like that.
If you close your eyes a second time and you think of a walkable city where cars ease by at 30 miles an hour, there are people gathering on sidewalk cafes, there are trees overhead,
It's safe for our children to play.
It's easier to stop into businesses because you're not whipping by at 50, 60 miles an hour.
That's the place you really want to live.
