What our seniors are saying

"Walking is an essential daily exercise for seniors. So, it is important to feel safe and convenient to walk in our community. Having an App like what we have discussed would be amazing. The App should clearly indicate the routes, especially where to not walk if there’s construction or repair going on. It should be able to suggest a safe and clear route for users."
