Senior
citizens from across the City met at Fall River Government Center on
September 24, 2014 to hear a summary report of the results of the "walk audits"
they participated in over the prervious three months as part of a Fall
River Mass In Motion Healthy Aging Initiative Project to get more
seniors walking. The Project trained seniors from
throughout the City at the Niagara Senior Center on how to conduct audits
of various walking routes, especially around senior centers. Fall River
Mass in Motion Coordinator Julie Kelly and Healthy Aging Initiative
Coordinator Eric Andrade then compiled the results of those audits which
were presented to City officials, including Director
of Community Maintenance Keneth Pacheco, Planning
Department Director Elizabeth Dennehy, Neighborhood
Outreach Coordinator Perry Long, Council
on Aging Associate Director Pauline Gousie, Traffic
and Parking Clerk Laura Ferreira, Police
Commander of Planning and Training Sgt. Andrew Crook, and Health
and Human Services Director Dr. Henry Vaillancourt. "We got some
terrific input and very specific ideas on areas that can be improved to
make walking easier throughout the City for seniors and others,"
concluded Ms. Kelly. Click
