Our family would like to extend a special thank you to Brandon city leaders and community members for collaborating on a plan for safer crosswalks. In October, 2018, our 11-year-old son, Ryley, was struck by a pickup in a crosswalk while bicycling. Partially thanks to his bicycle helmet, his injuries were minimal, and he decided it might be an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of being careful in crosswalks.
We launched a Facebook page called Watch and Wait for Kids and posted helpful crosswalk safety information for both drivers and kids. The effort earned terrific support from Brandon community members and the media, including the Journal.
