Monon Trail, Oak Trace and Washington Woods elementary schools students enjoyed a different route to class on May 7.
“We have a very bike-friendly community, with one of the best trails systems in the entire state. This event should show our residents that you can usually get where you want to be without a car,” Mayor Andy Cook stated. “Not to mention, it’s a lot of fun.”
The second Bike to School Day was in partnership with the city’s Parks and Recreation Dept. and police officers joined the ride and cleared the roadways to provide safe transportation.
Westfield’s Parks and Recreation Dept. is partnering with Monon Trail Elementary School, Oak Trace Elementary School, and Washington Woods Elementary School to host the second annual Bike to School Day on Wednesday, May 7th.
“We hope for this to be more than just a one-time event for participants, and encourage residents who participate to see it as an ongoing opportunity to get to school or work,” Parks Director Melody Jones said.
