Walk Friendly Community Walkabout Nomination

WalkArlington invites you to nominate your neighborhood for our next Walkabout!

In honor of Arlington County’s designation as a Gold-Level Walk Friendly Community — one of only 11 cities nationwide to receive this Walk Friendly Community recognition and one of only four cities honored at the Gold Level ­­– WalkArlington is planning our first-ever Walk Friendly Community Walkabout.

Walkabouts are self-guided walking tours of Arlington neighborhoods. Since 2005, WalkArlington has developed 19 Walkabout routes, highlighting the history, cultural attractions, natural resources, transportation options, and overall character of Arlington neighborhoods, from the ground up.

The 2012 Walkabout will be the 20th in our series and our first official Walk Friendly Community Walkabout so we want it to be extra-special!

In honor of Arlington County’s Walk Friendly Community designation and in preparation for development of our 20th Walkabout, WalkArlington is pleased to open the Walkabout selection process for 2012 by issuing this call for nominations for our inaugural Walk Friendly Community Walkabout!

If your neighborhood has not yet been highlighted with a Walkabout route and you would like to be considered as a candidate for WalkArlington’s first Walk Friendly Community Walkabout, just complete and submit our simple on-line Walkabout nomination form.

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, February 29, 2012.

If your neighborhood nomination is selected, WalkArlington will work with you to develop your Walkabout route and to plan your Walkabout event, featuring a guided tour of the neighborhood to be held later in 2012.

More Information

We hope that you will consider nominating your neighborhood to be featured in 2012 as our inaugural Walk Friendly Community Walkabout. Please do not hesitate to contact us at info@walkarlington.com if you have any questions!
