Cart Project update: Pickup time!

carts.jpg

We told you recently about Feet First‘s Cart Project – offering discounted pull-carts like the one above to people in the Westwood Village area, as part of a pilot project to encourage people to walk to the store instead of driving. They’ve now set the pickup time – you have to live in the pilot-project area, and you should have received a doorhanger that you can bring along (see a copy of it here) – 3:30-7:30 pm today and each day next Monday-Friday, at Westwood Village QFC. You get the $90 cart for $15 if you pledge to walk at least once weekly to do grocery-shopping and agree to two surveys (initial and followup). Got questions? Call 206/652-2310. If you’re outside the pilot-project area, here’s another way to get a discounted pull-cart – as reported here a week and a half ago, Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor) was inspired by the Cart Project and decided to offer discounts on their “shopping trolleys” to shoppers who mention it.

    With all due respect, that cart ain’t worth $90. I think it’s a great program, and $15 is a deal; if I lived in the area I’d be over there buying one. But I’d love to see who’s allegedly selling it for $90 (and if it’s selling). If you search on the internet, those types of carts are generally less than $50.

Sorry, comment time is over.
