Take the Don’t Exhaust Me Pledge You are what you breathe. Let that sink in as you think of all the idling cars waiting to drop off and pick up students each day at school. These cars are producing pollution that students have to walk through to get to class. Here are some startling facts from the Colorado Lung Association.
Do your part to improve the air around your school - reduce school traffic. Take part in our “Don’t Exhaust Me Pledge” by walking or biking to school either from home or with the Walking School Bus at your school. Live too far to walk? Park at least three blocks away and walk the rest in. Return your signed pledge to your school’s Walk & Bike to School program table to receive your “Don’t Exhaust Me” pin. Wear your pin with pride knowing you’re doing your part to make the air a little cleaner for those around you. |

Alternate Route for Interstate 80 Weekend Construction Work 80 Across the Top project
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is urging motorists to use the eastbound Capital City Freeway (aka Business 80) as an alternate route to avoid delays during this weekend’s scheduled 55-hour closures on eastbound Interstate 80 in North Sacramento. Caltrans will reduce eastbound Interstate 80 to two lanes and close ramp access at the Winters Street on-ramp and Longview Drive off-ramp from 10 p.m. Friday, March 20 through 5 a.m. Monday, March 23 due to mainline construction work. Traffic is expected to be very heavy eastbound throughout the “80 Across the Top” project from Interstate 5 to Watt Avenue. For additional project information including detours go to www.80AcrossTheTop.com. For the latest highway traffic news, follow Caltrans District 3 on Twitter and Facebook. |
