Wow! An impressive Dutch-inspired cycle network serves this new school in Austin, Texas

Protected cycle paths deliver students to this brand-new middle school in Austin, Texas. Today, Monday, August 14, 2023, the first class of sixth graders started at Dr. General Garwood Marshall Middle School in Austin's Mueller Community. What makes this school so special is that is embedded in this walkable community and is served by a network of Dutch-inspired cycle infrastructure. Thank you so much for watching!

Background: Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility. Since 2010, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities." The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them. Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful. Creative Commons License: Attributions, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives, 2023
