- parents can trust their responsible fifth-grader to safely walk or ride their bike to school and their friends’ houses
- outdoor enthusiasts of all ages can easily access our parks and trails
- everyone, including users of wheelchairs or mobility aids, can enjoy our shops and restaurants.
Committee Mission Statement (adopted 4/2022)
