More Walking and Biking…

Inaugural Nevada Moves Day Emphasizes Walking, Biking Safety.
The Las Vegas Sun (4/30, Hansen) reported on the first annual Nevada Moves Day, which was observed “in seven Nevada counties” on Wednesday to teach children how to be safe while “walking or biking to school.” Las Vegas City Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian and Councilman Ricki Barlow visited Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas “to demonstrate safe bike riding and to give away six bicycles donated to the elementary school students.” Nevada’s Safe Routes to School coordinator, Rebecca Kapuler, said, “Ultimately we’d like to have people leave their cars at home and have kids walk or take a bicycle to school, because we want to reduce the congestion of cars in the vicinity of schools.”
