Overview
Dearborn Healthy Streets Program

In 2021 Healthy Dearborn proposed a program to adapt some city streets to become “Slow and Shared Streets” to promote healthy lifestyles. This program is intended to provide a community learning opportunity for longer term transportation planning to advance multimodal transportation in Dearborn and make it easier for people to incorporate activity into daily living. We're excited to be bring this project back for 2022 even better.

What are Dearborn Healthy Streets?

Dearborn Healthy Streets are slow and shared transportation spaces to help all residents find safe, healthy ways to get outside, recreate, exercise and access essential services by providing greater access to public transportation rights of way. Slow and shared streets programs emerged as a nationwide trend during the COVID-19 pandemic which emphasizes the need for physical distancing and healthy lifestyles.
