Motorists are advised that International Walk to School Day will bring more folks onto Lanikai streets this Friday, when the community’s only school will join the campaign.<\/p>\n
Lanikai Elementary School students, parents, teachers and invited community leaders plan to walk or bike to school starting at 7:30 a.m. from Kailua Beach Park parking area and from the boat ramp. The “walking school bus” is estimated to arrive on campus at 7:40 a.m. with encouragement from a signwaving effort and morning safety assembly sponsored by Honolulu Police Department. State Rep. Cynthia Thielen will join the march and speak at the assembly.<\/p>\n
Organized by the school and HPD, the event seeks to raise awareness for creating safe routes for walking, bicycling and pedestrian safety while encouraging more physical activity and less cars.<\/p>\n
“The entire community benefits when there’s less traffic,” said Lanikai’s PCNC Espie Chapman, noting that this will be the public charter school’s inaugural effort.<\/p>\n
