Media alert: Nominate your favorite crossing guard

They keep children and adults safe in some of the most dangerous streets and intersections, and now there’s a chance to thank your favorite crossing guard – by nominating her or him at the Active Transportation Alliance’s website at www.activetrans.org.

The nominations honor Crossing Guard Appreciation Day, May 5, 2009, which celebrates and thanks the important work of crossing guards in helping make bicycling and walking easy and safe in our communities.
