Update in my neighborhood

I had some time to look through my photos and crop them today. I believe this variety is much better then my first presentation of my neighborhood in Philomath. Now you get a better perspective of the town as a whole.

Walk & Bike Safety

The grant for School in Routes program SIRP was initiated after couplet created a unsafe environment for children to walk to school and paves the way for infrastructure improvement.


SIRP components:

Objective #1 SIRP is to increase safety awareness among young children. To encourage a healthy lifestyle in walking and biking and teach safety empowerment benefiting the whole community.
Objective #2 Infrastructure Projects:

Building a bike path that connects to the school is the final phase and is seeking funding

SIRP pilot project has been operating for one and a half weeks and has another one and a half weeks to go. Focused on providing safety walks with all first graders at Clemens Primary.
