Last fall, a group of Concord parents created a bike-to-school initiative to encourage kids to walk or ride their bikes, consistent with the School Department’s efforts to minimize the number of students riding buses due to the pandemic.
The adults tracked the number of bikes parked at the schools for several months to help the School Department know about the trend. The initiative was deemed successful, according to Phil Posner, a member of the town’s Transportation Advisory Committee who spoke to the Concord Journal as a private resident. So, the group of adults is bringing the initiative back for the spring.
