We proudly endorse this ballot measure and the parent group behind its creation. We require our kids to go to school, so we must do what we can to get them there safely. This ballot measure asks that Boulder implement “safe zones,” similar to what exist in other cities, around our schools and bike paths. We believe that the primary purpose of government is to protect the health and well-being of the governed. Safe Zones 4 Kids is part of that purpose.
