Managing Director ALDEN ALAYVILLA, PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER Tel (808) 241-4909 Fax (808) 241-6877 Community invited to Kilauea Safe Routes to School workshops In partnership with Kilauea School, the Kilauea community, Get Fit Kauai, and the County of Kauai, the community is invited to participate in Kilauea community planning workshops to help design the upcoming Safe Routes to School Action Plan for Kilauea School. There will be a series of meetings and events on Jan. 30, Feb. 1, and Feb. 8 that are scheduled during the daytime and the evenings — so the community may participate at times that are convenient to them. Children's activities are planned for the evening meetings, so families are encouraged to participate. "The purpose of the Action Plan is to identify challenges, goals, and solutions to make it safer for keiki and families to walk or bike to Kilauea School," said Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. "The intensive week-long process is intended to be community driven, to ensure that solutions reflect the community's values and needs." The Safe Routes to School program is part of the Mayor's Holo Holo 2020 Vision and relies on partnerships with schools, neighborhoods, and community coalitions such as Get Fit Kauai to be successful.
