Erie Mayor Daria Devlin spent Saturday morning connecting with residents during two Walk and Talks along the Bayfront.
The first walk began at Blasco Library, where Devlin and Erie resident Deonte Cooley met with community members for a mile-and-a-half walk to Dobbins Landing and back.
Along the way, they talked with residents about their thoughts, concerns and opinions on the current state of the city.
The walks are part of a larger initiative called One Bayfront, which aims to get residents involved in exploring the Bayfront, learning about its future and discussing the One Bayfront vision.
Organizers hope the walks help build a stronger sense of community and confidence between Erie residents and local officials.
A second Walk and Talk with Devlin and Cooley was held at noon at Liberty Park.
