Child Safety in Treme and the Seventh Ward

This video focuses on the Treme and Seventh Ward neighborhood. One main thing that residents of this area encounter is lack of access within spaces. Many children are walking around in their neighborhood at risk of violence and crime around them. Implementing pedestrian paths in between the green street medians will provide more opportunity for access, safety, and recreation. Other opportunities that can help improve the space include biking and lighting. 

Moving forward, I will continue to address the problems and further elaborate on the solutions. The use of the word, “green space” will be changed. Local schools will also be shown and more statistical demographics will be explained. 

More background information:
