REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Go for a Daily WalkWhat have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
Fiona Stewart 4/30/2021 1:20 AMI've been loving long walks - visiting areas of Dundee that I've never/ hardly ever been to. I've noticed more carvings on builldings, more parks and lots of new public artwork. These walks have made me more aware of the Dundee Open/Close initiative (open/close – Dundee (openclosedundee.co.uk)) -
