Merci Beaucoup, Francois!
Francois completed his first official home visit on Duquesne Drive! A very special shout out to one of our members on Duquesne Drive, who is taking the initiative to make his street safer. We were able to gather a two week segment of traffic data. The results are posted below. You can also view the results on our Citizen Street Data Initiative page. We love that our members are taking action - we are here to help support! Interested in collecting data for your street? Contact us to learn more!
PACK THE ROOM - allow elementary school kids to bike/scooter to school
November 10 @ 7:30pm | Mt. Lebanon School Board Meeting, Room D205, Mt. Lebanon High School, Entrance Door C20
Would you like your elementary school kid(s) to be able to bike/scooter to school? Currently, district policy prohibits elementary school kids from riding their bikes/scooters to school. While we know this isn’t a safe option for all families, it is a great option for some. Regardless, we believe the district should not mandate whether or not children can bike/scooter to school. In a district that does not provide bus service, parents should have full discretion on how their children get to and from school. The current bike/scooter policy is under review by the school board and is up for discussion at the November 10 meeting. Please come and “pack the room” in support of eliminating any age-based policy that restricts the use of bikes/scooters as a means to get to and from school. There is a public comment session during the meeting, pre-registration is not required.
Can’t make it in person? Send your comments to the board: SchoolBoardEmailList@mtlsd.net.
Connected Car Workshop recap
Move Lebo and the Mt. Lebanon Police Department teamed up on Sunday, Oct. 12th to assist in setting up, trouble shooting, and demonstrating the capabilities of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Numerous residents took advantage to make their driving safer by learning to use simple voice commands. Tasks like navigation, calling, messaging, and even picking a new song are now a breeze while also being compliant with Pennsylvania's new hands-free law.
If you or someone you know weren't able to attend, drop us an email at connected-car@movelebo.org, and we can help get you set up!
