Unlike traditional sweepers, which are too large to fit into protected bike lanes, this custom-built device can navigate narrow lanes where leaves, trash, and debris often accumulate, creating hazardous conditions for bikers.

In District 13, we still have a handful of pedestrian tunnels that help kids get to school safely.

Recently, we worked with Vine St Elementary to secure their tunnel and power wash it to keep it clean. And this morning, we joined students and parents to paint a beautiful mural across the tunnel!
