Concord Kids Inspect Route to Elementary, Middle Schools
 |
Cathy Thompson, who works as a school crossing guard, sets out with a group of neighborhood kids to inspect one of the potential walking routes to Conant Elementary School and Rundlett Middle School in Concord. |  |
It didn't take the kids long to discover crumbling asphalt on a sidewalk tipdown. Making school routes accessable to children with disabilities is one of the goals of Safe Routes to School. |

Members of the Concord Safe Routes to School task force meet to compare notes after walking several potential routes to school and recording the conditions of sidewalks and street crossings. |
