“THE STREET PROJECT” at the Malden Public Library

The Malden Public Library in partnership with Bike to the Sea will be showing “THE STREET PROJECT” on December 14 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Following the screening there will be a panel discussion about the documentary and ways to increase safety and encourage alternative solutions within your community.

According to “THE STREET PROJECT” website, the film “is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer.” This is a documentary by Jennifer Boyd and a Boyd Productions Film – 4K, Color, 52 minutes, 2022.

According to the website, “Worldwide, 1.35 million people die in traffic-related crashes each year. Half of those deaths are pedestrians and cyclists. THE STREET PROJECT is an inspiring story about a massive movement across the world to reclaim our largest public spaces, our streets.

“For Dulcie Canton, stopping vehicular violence in New York City has become a life mission. Both Dulcie and her mother were victims of hit-and-run crashes on separate occasions, 10 years apart – Dulcie as a cyclist, her mother as a pedestrian.

“For Stacey Champion, inaction at the city council level has led to her fight for change. Five pedestrians were hit by cars over the past 6 months at her neighborhood crosswalk. While deaths soar across the city, little has been done to address the pedestrian death toll.

“THE STREET PROJECT is a film that takes viewers on a global journey to discover a better way of doing things.”
