GOVERNOR DAVIS SIGNS SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL BILL
Sacramento - Governor Gray Davis has signed Safe Routes to School
legislation -- Senate Bill 10 authored by State Senator Nell Soto
(D-Pomona) -- that extends the popular statewide program for three
years.
"It's wonderful to see Governor Davis recognize that Safe Routes to
School is a smart investment in the future of this great state," says
Chris Morfas, executive director of the California Bicycle Coalition
(CBC), a co-sponsor of the bill. "This is a sweet victory for bicycling.
The child cyclist has become an endangered species, and our triumph with
this Safe Routes to School legislation will get kids back on bikes in
California. Now it's time to go national with Safe Routes to School
construction, education and encouragement programs."
SB10 is expected to provide approximately $70,000,000 over the next
three years for new sidewalks, bike lanes, trails and other projects to
encourage students to walk or bike to school. Schools requested more
than five times the funding ($230 vs. $44 million) that was available
during the first two rounds of grant applications.
"It's a little bit of money that will go a long way towards safer
streets, more vital neighborhoods and healthier kids," states James
Corless, California Director of the Surface Transportation Policy
Project (STPP), the other co-sponsor of the bill.
More than 60 organizations statewide supported the bill including the
California PTA and the League of California Cities. California Bicycle
Coalition extends a special thanks to its members, Bikes Belong, local
bicycle advocates, Interbike, the League of American Bicyclists, the
Thunderhead Alliance and Chunky Flyrite Enterprises for their help
throughout the SB10 campaign.

http://www.calbike.org.
According to the website of Walk to School - USA, "Walk to School
Day 2001 was a great success! The day was about children, adults and
community leaders walking to school together to recognize the benefits
of walking and the need to create communities that are safe places to
walk. Millions of children and adults in 20 countries walked on Tuesday,
October 2nd."

SHAPE OF THE NATION: NOT GOOD...
On October 10th, the National Association for Sport and Physical
Education (NASPE) released its latest "Shape of the Nation" report. As
you might imagine, the news is not good. Whether it's childhood obesity,
type II diabetes, or sedentary lifestyles, things have gotten worse.
And, perhaps even more alarming, the agencies charged with making
progress have done very little to make a difference. Here are a few
highlights...
"Fifteen years after the U.S. Congress passed Resolution 97 encouraging
state and local governments and local educational agencies to provide
high quality daily physical education programs for all children in
kindergarten through grade 12, and 10 years after Goals 2000 called for
inclusion of physical education as an integral component of all school
programs, little progress has been made.
Most states are not living up to recommendations of multiple reports and
recommendations from the federal government and other national
organizations including the Surgeon General's Report, Physical Activity
and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines for
Schools and Community Programs to Promote Lifelong Physical Activity
Among Young People, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the
National Education Association (NEA) to require physical education for
all students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
That is the major finding of the Shape of the Nation Report, as
conducted by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education
(NASPE). While this does not represent dramatic change from the previous
survey, it does indicate that most states, in the face of the growing
crisis in childhood obesity, Type II diabetes and of increasing
sedentary lifestyles, have taken no action to provide education about
the physical dimension of individuals..."

NEW NCHRP PROJECT ON ROUNDABOUTS
According to an October 4th posting on the Transportation Research
Board's website, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program
(NCHRP) released a Request for Proposals on "Applying Roundabouts in the
United States."
In particular, the proposed study will look at safety issues,
specifically regarding "pedestrians with blindness and low vision use
cues from traffic sounds to determine when to cross the roadway." The
project's objectives are to (1) develop methods of estimating the
safety and operational impacts of U.S. roundabouts and (2) refine the
design criteria used for them."

GET THE OBESITY AND OVERWEIGHT OBESITY TRENDS SLIDE SHOW NOW
The Centers for Disease Control offers a free set of Power Point
slides on the topic of obesity trends in the U.S. from 1985 to 2000.
This slide set -- even when only four or five are used -- is a very
effective, dramatic presentation of the consequences (and magnitude) of
the physical inactivity/obesity problem and really wows the audience. As
the authors say, "During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic
increase in obesity in the United States. Currently, more than half of
all U.S. adults are considered overweight, defined as having a Body Mass
Index (BMI) of 25 or more. These data were derived from the Behavioral
Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a random-digit telephone survey
conducted by the CDC and state health departments.
"In 1985, while only a handful of states were participating in CDC's
BRFSS, none fell into the highest two categories of obesity prevalence.
No BRFSS participating states had an obesity rate greater than 14%. By
the year 2000, data were available for all 50 states, revealing 49
states as falling within the highest two categories of obesity (i.e., 27
states having 15-19% obesity; 22 states having a population rate of 20%
obesity or more). As the obesity epidemic spread, the prevalence of
overweight among U.S. adults increased by 61% from 1991 to 2000 alone."

According to an October 3rd story in the Arlington (TX) Morning
News, "It was a little chilly, but J.J. Russell and his friend Eric
Walker still walked a mile on Tuesday from their homes to Dunn
Elementary School. 'My mom usually drives me,' said J.J., a
fifth-grader. The students were among several dozen in Arlington who
recognized National Walk to School Day on Tuesday.
"The event was started in 1997 by Partnership for a Walkable America, an
organization that encourages parents to walk to school with their
children to promote physical activity, pedestrian safety and awareness
of the difficulties children face on their trip to school. Since the
first Walk to School Day, millions of students, parents and teachers
from the United States and other countries have walked to their
campuses, according to the group's Web site.
"The Dunn students followed principal Debbie Williams along Woodside
Drive. Some wore patriotic clothes; others waved small American
flags..."

NO MORE SOLO COMMUTING FOR THE BIG APPLE
According to an Oct. 1st story in Newsday, "Rudy Giuliani has had a
lot of surprises for us in recent days. His ban on solo car commuting
represents a particularly bold break with conventional thinking about
the place of automobiles in New York City.
"Banning single-occupant vehicles from lower and mid-Manhattan crossings
was visionary. The mayor has done more than ease the current traffic
crunch. He has pointed the way to curing our region's chronic traffic
congestion, once and for all.
"With one stroke, Giuliani has eliminated gridlock's No. 1 culprit: the
single-occupant vehicle. It wasn't easy. The 'right to drive' -
anywhere, anytime - is ingrained in contemporary culture. In life's
frantic scramble and struggle, a vehicle of one's own has come to be
seen not as an indulgence but a refuge; not as a luxury but a necessary
convenience. But with more and more cars on the road, 'convenience' has
lengthened from minutes to hours, making solo commuting very
inconvenient - indeed, a luxury we cannot afford to provide..."

from Cary's Northwoods Elementary show their patriotism during Walk To
School Day. The walk was in celebration of National Walk to School Day.
Students from Northwoods Elementary in Cary started their trek from
their local community center. This year, students also used the day to
proudly display their patriotism.
"The goal of Walk To School Day is to promote physical activity and to
make sure communities are safe for walking. Students and parents took a

AIR POLLUTION MORE DEADLY THAN CRASHES
According to an August 17th article in the Columbus (OH) Dispatch, "
More people are being killed by pollution from cars, trucks and other
sources than by traffic crashes, researchers estimate in a report that
says cleaning up would prolong the lives of thousands of people.
"The researchers, in a study in the journal Science, said that cutting
greenhouse gases in just four major cities -- Sao Paulo, Brazil; Mexico
City; Santiago, Chile and New York City -- could save 64,000 lives
during the next 20 years. Greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide
or ozone, are pollutants that tend to trap the sun's heat in the
atmosphere or to affect solar radiation.
"The gases have been blamed for causing global warming, but the study's
lead author, Devra Lee Davis, a professor at Carnegie Mellon
University's Heinz School in Pittsburgh, said the effects are not just
long-term. 'The message in our study is that there are real and
immediate health benefits' in reducing greenhouse gases, she said.
"She said that burning of fossils fuels, such as gasoline or coal, can
create air pollutants such as ozone, airborne particles small enough to
be inhaled, carbon dioxide and other gases. The pollutants, said Davis,
can cause people to die prematurely from asthma, breathing disorders and
heart disease. 'It is our best estimate that more people are being
killed by air pollution . . . than from traffic crashes,' Davis said..."

the city cannot relax its air pollution regulations, a federal appeals
court has ruled. Reversing a decision by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the court decided that metropolitan
Cincinnati's air is still too dirty to qualify for clean-air status.
"On behalf of two Cincinnati residents and the Ohio chapter of the

BIKE PARKING FEATURED AT SEATTLE'S SAFECO FIELD
According to an Oct. 9th story in the Seattle Times, bicyclists
heading for the ballpark to watch the playoffs between the Seattle
Mariners and the Cleveland Indians are in luck. There is parking. "A
secure bicycle parking cage for more than 150 bicycles is located in the
Safeco Field garage. Additional bicycle parking racks are located on the
plaza next to the garage. The City of Seattle has requested that
bicyclists not chain bicycles to meters, trees or other objects because
they become hazards to pedestrians. Bicycles creating a hazard may be
removed by the Seattle Police Department."

MICHIGAN'S "CADILLAC BYPASS" BIKE/PED TRAIL TO CLOSE
According to a Sept. 27th news release from the Michigan Department
of Transportation, "MDOT has temporarily closed the portion of the new
US-131 bypass in Cadillac previously used by the community for
recreation. The lanes in both directions on US-131 just north of M-55
needed to be closed for construction purposes. The recreational use on
this stretch of the bypass has been enjoyed by many over the past two
months. Residents have been walking, running and biking on it since
August.
"'We encourage members of the community to still come on out and enjoy
the bypass, but only on weekends now, through Oct. 14,' said Bob
Sweeney, manager of MDOT's Transportation Service Center in Cadillac. On
Oct. 14, 2001, the area will be permanently closed to all non-motorized
traffic. However, MDOT plans to hold a special ceremony near the end of
October to officially dedicate this portion of the bypass as the Sid
Ouwinga Memorial Bypass."

NEIGHBORHOOD MAKES ITS OWN CROSSWALKS
According to a story in the October 7th edition of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, "The white lines on the pavement in Seattle's Fremont
neighborhood were a bit sloppy. Errant brush strokes blurred the long
edges. Some lines crisscrossed. It was a crosswalk, but clearly not the
work of professionals. A resident baffled by the questionable paint job
called Seattle Transportation, the office in charge of such things, to
report it. When city crews showed up, they also found four unauthorized
stop signs. They spent the next three days removing the paint and the
signs.
"This incident is not an isolated case, city officials say. Citizens
often take traffic control into their own hands. It costs the city
about $300 to replace each sign that is stolen or vandalized, said Tammy
Ravert, Seattle Transportation field supervisor. One or more signs are
taken or vandalized every day. Yet people who want traffic signs,
including stop signs and no-parking signs, can buy them from sign
companies in the area. Ravert estimates people illegally install signs
or paint their own crosswalks once or twice a month..."
