Community Partnerships
Safe Routes to School
The Village of Fredericktown is working on a plan to make it easier to walk, bike, roll, and get around the village. A major focus of the plan is making sure there are safe routes for our kids to get to school.
Parents and caregivers are invited to fill out a confidential 5-minute survey about how your child travels to and from school. Your answers will help identify issues and develop strategies to make walking and bicycling to school safer.
The project team will also have a table at the school on October 25 and 27th, 4-7 pm, during parent-teacher conferences to talk to the community about the plan, so stop by to learn more and share your ideas.
Please fill out the survey by November 11: https://www.gethealthyknox.com/fredericktown-walk-bike-roll-plan.html and contact truhl@knoxhealth.com with any questions.
