The big community Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day in Coconut Grove Miami is ON! The post-hurricane rescheduling has allowed us to recognize the Ruby Bridges Foundation this year as part of the community efforts to make walking and cycling to school safer for kids and families.

It's National Injury Prevention Day. Let's start by encouraging engineers to eliminate right turns on red AND any walk signal that conflicts with green light. Make traffic signals unambiguous for the safety of kids and families. #BeInjuryFree America Walks @injuryfreekids

Meanwhile, at Frances S. Tucker El, our sister program, UHealth WalkSafe, was busy working with Captain Dan Kerr's team to calm traffic. This school has more #walktoschool participants, and closing down Williams Ave eliminated the right turn on red dangers at the school's present crosswalk.

The utterly superfluous (there's no connecting lane to it) dedicated right turn lane was also closed off, thus providing a PROPER setback from the sidewalk for families from 37th Ave. traffic.

Sadly, 40 years of broken promises by many (not the funders of our grant, but others) also meant that in the year 2024, there are still kids forced to walk on a dirt path to school. On Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day, no less. Unacceptable.
