Bicycles are all lined up outside Fairmeadow Elementary School on Wednesday during “Walk & Roll Week.� to School, to promote walking and bicycling with an eye toward safety. During peak school commute times, the Palo Alto Police Department Traffic Team puts a priority on school routes, ticketing people who drive in bike lanes or commit other safety violations near campuses. The police department also funds 29 crossing guards at busy intersections. The PTA organizes bicycle education for elementary students and
traffic-safety representatives on each campus. Palo Alto Board of Education President Melissa Baten Caswell lauded the bicycle-promotion effort and asked community members to help create a safe environment for kids to bike. “Growing independent is part of growing up — healthy children need a community that encourages them to build skills and to venture out,� Caswell said.
