Blue Zones Project Fort Worth is a community well-being improvement initiative designed to change the way people experience the world around
them by impacting environmental policy and social networks. BlueZones projects make healthy choices easier and as a result,people can live
longer; and communities can lower healthcare costs,improve productivity,and boost national recognition as a great place to live,work,and play.
Blue Zones Project Fort Worth is a citywide initiative,but its focus is high-need priority neighborhoods as identified by community health needs
assessments. Diamond-Hill Jarvis, North Side, Las Vegas Trail, Morningside, Stop Six,and Rosemont are examples of neighborhoods where
Blue Zones Project Fort Worth has worked to introduce and integrate healthy living principles within the community.
Implementation of traffic safety countermeasures such as pavement markings,signage, mini neighborhood traffic circles,sidewalks,and curb
extensions support the Blue Zones Project's focus on community wellness and aligns with city efforts to enhance traffic safety in majority minority
areas disproportionately impacted by traffic crashes.Walking and design charrettes will be held in Blue Zones Project Fort Worth neighborhoods
to understand their unique traffic safety needs and to identify appropriate countermeasures that will address those needs.
