Safe Routes to School and neighborhood bike rodeos
Summary
The city wants to bring bike rodeos — kid-friendly bike safety courses — to neighborhood associations, supplying the course kit, staff, and swag while neighborhoods supply the venue and volunteers. A ~$60,000 federal grant is expanding the program, and reps raised everything from dark bike routes on 7th to e-bike dangers and driver behavior.

Impact analysis
A roughly $60,000 federal grant funds expanded programming over the next two years at no direct cost to neighborhoods.
Kids and families in neighborhoods that host a rodeo — plus anyone who bikes, since the push includes safer crossings and adult education.
Neighborhoods without a nearby school or safe arterial crossings may find participation harder.
