Save the date! The City is creating a Citywide Safe Routes to School program and is hosting a fun and interactive event to help educate residents. Join us Sunday, March 24, from 1-4 p.m. at the Arrillaga Family Recreation Center (Sequoia Room/Patio), 700 Alma Street. 

The event will offer both fun and informational opportunities such as: 

• A free mobile bike repair station
• Bike blender to make free smoothies
• Bike helmet fittings
• Opportunity to give feedback for the Menlo Park Safe Routes to School program
• Representatives from Parents for Safe Routes, San Mateo County Health System, San Mateo County Office of Education, SamTrans, and more on hand to answer questions

Goals of this program include:

• Getting children to school safely by promoting biking and walking
• Developing a comprehensive curriculum to instill basic safety skills at an elementary school age
• Offering resources for both public and private schools to help promote alternatives for getting children to school other than driving
