School Year Starting, Motorists Asked To Watch For Kids

Students will be returning to classrooms over the next few days as a new school year begins, and local officials are reminding motorists to watch out for them as they walk and ride to school.  Hood River Mayor Paul Blackburn says after a “Safe Routes To Schools” pilot project one year ago at Hood River Middle School, some of it will be in place this school year with additional bike lanes on 18th between Belmont and May streets.  Law enforcement officials throughout the region ask motorists to use caution in school zones.  Watch for children and don’t forget that speed limits are reduced in school zones.
