we are one of the schools in the district, i think we might have the highest percentage of walkers to school. now it's real important walk-to-school day is let us know how you are when you walk to school. because you need to let us know, and then we will let this man know if you don't feel safe walking to school. because it is safe walking to schools. this you so much. all of the parents for meeting us at kid power park. i would like to thank audrey. thank you, audrey. thank you for helping out, helping us organize this. and i want to thank you guys because you are what makes our school special as a kid. so once again i would like to turn it over to mayor ed lee. thank you so much. >> buenos dias. thank you for being here and

walking. isn't it great to walk in san francisco? marshall is one of many schools where over 60% -- in fact i think at marshall, over 61% of people live within a one-mile radius from this school. this is prt type of school when we want to emphasize that walking to school can be safe, can be healthy and can be fun. and so we want to do our part. guess what we're doing, this is the 15th school where we are changing the speed routes for the cars all around the radius of the school. and we're lowering them from what we might see to be almost as fast as 30 miles an hour, we want to lower them to no more than 15 miles an hour when school is in session. how do you like that? when the traffic -- when the traffic slows down, then people can enjoy walking to school even more safely. i want to thank the most important people that are here,

the most important people are you, the kids and your parents. because they want your -- we all want you to make sure you're walking to school safely. so you are the 15th school and guess what, we're going to do this type of safe routes to schools in 213 schools all over san francisco. we're working hard to change all of the signs out and when the signs get changed, we're going to make sure everybody knows about it so our public health department and thanks to anna and her great work, she is helping to coordinate the education around the schools with the school districts and we're going to make sure of the education and then we have to have enforcement because there are going to be so many individuals that don't pay attention. our police department is going to be out there and they're going to educate first and remind people. when they see somebody exseeding

the speed that isn't paying attention, guess what the police have to do? they have to issue a ticket. the ticket will be expensive but they're going to make sure people are educated around how to slow down when they see kids around schools. so we're doing everything we can to make sure our schools are safe. and when you have safe schools and safe routes, then we're going to have healthier kids. and i saw -- did everybody get their banana? that's what anita tells me my wife says i have to have a banana every day. that will keep me healthy. but i also think having safe routes to schools will keep everybody's health. i want to thank everyone working together, collaborating. the theme is collaboration. everybody working together to make sure we have safe routes. i want it thank all of the parents for joining us today. the best schools are the ones that are involving our parents. i want to thank you for doing that and having join us and all of our agencies here to keep our
