Faces of Slow Lake Street: CLAUDIA ENRIQUEZ

“It allows me the freedom to take my child and my dog out without the fear of overwhelming traffic. I feel safer, and I really enjoy being outside, so it makes it more convenient. (Before Slow Lake Street) I always had to stay on the paved sidewalk, which is really hard for (me) with a stroller and a dog and so it’s just more convenient to be on the street and enjoying the community that’s out here.

I run into other family members, other mothers with strollers. We finally stop and say hello. It definitely takes a moment to get to know your neighbor and that’s what it allows.”
