Hartford, Connecticut
In October 2007, the city of Hartford (CT) hosted two City Safe Routes to School workshops. To get everyone into the spirit of the workshops (and thinking like kids) we asked each person to draw a map of his/her walk to school. Ten minutes later it was pencils-down and time for Show & Tell.
The results? Twenty and thirty years ago there were scary dogs, neighborhood creeps, and dangerous intersections—just like today. We told the adults we would be hanging up their artwork in the school’s hallway after the workshop. Since we didn’t get that chance in Hartford, we thought we would use CenterLines to make good on our promise.
