Five Cities Named Winners In The Made To Move Grant Program

Five cities in the United States are going to make it a little easier for their residents to be healthy.
 
On September 18, 2019, Degree Deodorant announced the five winners in the brand's first Made To Move grant program, a national competition that will dedicate $500,000 in funding for city projects that encourage healthy, active lifestyles. Brought together by Degree and Blue Zones, global experts in community health and well-being transformation, the program supports Degree's larger mission of bringing movement opportunities, events and resources to the masses.
 
According to Lucy Attley, director of marketing for Degree, “Applications from the winning cities showcased passion and commitment to increasing opportunities for activity in their communities. Projects address today’s increased need for simple, safe opportunities for natural movement, including trails, streets crossings, safe bikeways, and enhanced public spaces.”
 
Degree Made To Move Grant Winners:
 
Richardson, Texas
 
The Greenville Avenue road diet will remove driving lanes and add bicycle lanes and an at-grade pedestrian crossing to better integrate the light-rail station with the planned Innovation District. This project will also help install the first roundabouts in the city, helping calm traffic and benefit active transportation residents.
