Community Pedestrian Safety Workshop
Watsonville’s Mintie White Elementary School, at 515 Palm Ave., will be the site of a free pedestrian safety workshop from 10am to 2pm on Saturday, March 26.
The event hopes to make neighborhood streets safer for pedestrians through presentations and group discussions. Each year, more than 14,000 pedestrians are killed in California annually; 6,100 of them were in a crosswalk.
The workshop will be held in English and Spanish. Representatives from the police, public works and utilities department and other public agencies will be there. Lunch and childcare will be provided.

The workshop is hosted by the UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center and California WALKS under the Community Pedestrian Safety Training Project, in coordination with County of Santa Cruz Health Services Agency and its traffic safety partners. Funding, in part, is from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
