Walkability Town Hall Set

The V.I. Department of Health (DOH), in partnership with other public and private agencies, will hold a Town Hall on Walkability. The purpose is to get the community’s ideas on areas that can be improved/constructed to promote more physical activity in the territory. The roundabout on St. John and the surrounding area was identified as one of the first projects to be improved on that island; the area behind the Schneider Regional Medical Center, on St. Thomas, was also identified and plans are being created to make it more suitable for the public’s use.

Being the last of these meetings on this subject, the organizers are requesting the St. Croix community joins them in designing an island that promotes safety and encourages physical activity.
