I am particularly pleased about Bell Street Safe Routes to School and Arcade Cripple Creek Extension, as these were projects that I promoted when I was Safe Routes to School Coordinator for San Juan Unified School District. Bell Street is used by many students attending Howe Avenue Elementary, Encina Preparatory High, and Greer Elementary, as well as several private schools in the area. The Arcade-Cripple Creek trail project serves both students at a number of schools and promotes active transportation for the entire community.
