Faces of Slow Lake Street: ANNA MARIE MURPHY

“I love the slow lake because it really allows all the families and neighbors to get to know each other and provokes more community. I live right up here in Presidio Heights. I run down Slow Lake every other day. (Before there was a slow lake) not as frequently but the fact that there’s no traffic it just is a more freeing feeling. 

I’ve lived here for 15 years and love the fact that I can run down the middle of the street without worrying about cars and other things. 

I think people are friendly so it gives you an opportunity to get to know you neighbors so if you’re running or walking or with your kids the same hours with them and you see the same familiar faces, then it creates more community because it allows you to get to know your neighbors better.”
