"We hope to demonstrate once again the need for sidewalks on Ebenezer Road, the only such road in the immediate vicinity without sidewalks," said Jenifer O’ Donnell, Safe Routes to School Champion, Addison PTA.
The event extols the benefits of healthy activity and quality time between families and neighbors. It reduces traffic congestion and air pollution as it takes many cars of parents driving their children to school off the road.
