The coalition works to raise awareness regarding the importance of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and to ensure that everyone has access to safe spaces for physical activity. The Southwest Lancaster City walking route was developed by LG Health in partnership with Lancaster Rec, the Boys and Girls Club of Lancaster, the Community Action Partnership and the City of Lancaster.
