Safe Routes to School Program. Due to the project being done in phases, the current bike paths on Great Road are inconsistent from phase to phase.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#252525">Lots of buzzwords are being thrown around but the one I think sums it up is “smart growth”. Basically, have cars by all means, but prioritize alternatives so people
