Volunteers Walked Every Route: Arlington Updates Safe Routes to School Maps as Town Finances Run Ahead of Budget

Members of Arlington's Transportation Advisory Committee laced up their shoes this winter and walked more than 100 miles through every elementary school district in town — in some cases during major snowstorms — to verify and revise student walking routes that had not been updated since 2016. The Select Board unanimously approved the resulting maps Monday night, a vote that also set the stage for a crossing-sign improvement package TAC plans to submit for future grant funding.
