Slavic Village grant may get folks to pick up fitness pace

Slavic Village Development has won a $200,000 grant to get residents moving - not by car, but by foot and by bike. The money will be used to promote exercise in a variety of forms, from hip-hop for teens to yoga for seniors, as well as to plan a bike-and-hike trail through Kingsbury Run valley, says Bobbi Reichtell, development officer for Slavic Village Development. The nonprofit group serves the working-class neighborhoods North and South Broadway, which have a combined 35,000 residents.
