If you have a vision and a revision for the city and want to share it with others . . . then YOU can lead a Jane's Walk. That's the main criteria for ALL these city explorations: that they focus on your vision, a current revision, or much-needed revision of the city.
It might help to check out the walks residents and organizations offered during our first 3 years.
And here are even more ways you could share your vision/revision:
