WHEREAS, City staff, City Council and our partners in the Georgetown Police Department and the
Georgetown Independent School District recognize the value of providing safe and reliable routes to school; and
WHEREAS, these routes promote healthy lifestyles for our children and uphold the high quality of life our
community enjoys as a whole; and
WHEREAS, when kids walk or bike to school instead of riding in a car, they help reduce pollution emitted by
vehicles; and
WHEREAS, bicycling to school encourages school children to get physical activity each day, building the
habit of regular exercise that can increase their health for a lifetime.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DALE ROSS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, do hereby
proclaim May 3, 2017 as
BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY
In Georgetown, Texas
