Walk to School Wednesday

Today was Massachusetts Walk and Bike to School Day and, unlike the last such event in October, the weather was perfect.

The group started small, but as I jogged back home, I noticed many more kids and parents enroute. The bike racks at Hanlon are always full and one morning I saw a virtual convey of bikes making their way up the sidewalk on Pine Line.

A number of projects are underway in town to promote safe walking and biking...I will post more updates here under the "walkable" category tag, and I encourage anyone interested to check out the Westwood Pedestrian and Bike Safety Committee pages on the town web site and consider coming to a meeting or emailing me your suggestions at datkinsg@gmail.com.
