About Sarah Saviskas
I am passionate about making our cities more livable, walkable, and bikeable. Our cities should be designed to foster community through human-scale development and quality public spaces, and our streets should be designed to ensure safe and comfortable use for all users. I am committed to involving communities in decision-making processes, as when community members’ voices are heard and shape project outcomes, policies are more sustainable.I generally only connect on LinkedIn with people I have personally worked with or spoken with. If you are interested in making a connection, please reach out to say hello!
