‘Walk and Roll,’ school gates close each Wednesday

Banner, attached to metal gate frame, reads, 'Walk and Roll Wednesdays, sonomasaferoutes.org.' Image depicts human figures, an adult-sized walking holding the hands of a figure with skirt and pony-tail who is holding a lunch box. In front of them, a third figure rides a bicycle and wears a backpack. The trio of figures are depicted in a landscape of trees and green hills, against a blue-sky backdrop

School is out this week, in observance of Thanksgiving, but I want to reinforce “Walk and Roll” each Wednesday at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts.

Every Wednesday, we close the gates to the school parking lot.

The intention behind “Walk and Roll” is to promote alternatives to dropping-off and picking-up students by car. With fewer cars pulling in and out of the driveway, safety is enhanced for those students (and adults) who want to travel to-and-from on foot or by bicycle.

We admit after-school programs’ vans, and people with disabilities who have DMV placards. But we ask that other motorists park safely and legally on the street.
