MOMS FOR A BEAUTIFUL 10TH STREET

Esmeralda Garcia – Rose Park Neighborhood Board Member

Rose Park Neighborhood volunteers celebrated the 5th Annual Moms for a Beautiful 10th Street on Thursday, March 25th. Volunteers displayed vibrant butterflies on the trees of 10th Street from Temple to Cherry Avenue. The message for this year’s street action is “Moms are Essential!”

It has been a difficult year on us all and many moms are doing all they can to keep the family afloat; finding strength while managing their own careers, personal health and wellness. Rose Park Board Member, Esmeralda Garcia said it best stating: “Moms will continue to soar, just like butterflies soar through the air.”

We hope that residents will take a walk down 10th Street and check out all of the butterflies displayed in the trees. Previous street actions for Moms for a Beautiful 10th Street include raising awareness for pedestrian and bike safety, handing out personal safety alarms, and providing helpful resources to families at Willard Elementary.

Did you know that kids need at least 60 minutes and adults need at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day?

The City’s Walk and Roll Long Beach Program and local community partners celebrate the first Long Beach Virtual Walk to School Week!

The event provides a fun and engaging way to reinforce the goal of walking safely to school amongst students and their families. While we cannot gather and celebrate in person this year, staying active and healthy by practicing walking to school or simply getting outside is more important than ever!

Tips for Pedestrians and Drivers:

1. Remember to drink water before and after your walk. If you will be walking long distances, bring a water bottle along on your walk.

2. It is always best to walk on sidewalks or designated pedestrian paths and cross at street corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. When the light turns green, make sure the cars have stopped before you cross into the street.

3. Drivers, please respect pedestrians when you are behind the wheel of your car. Stay alert and distracted free! Make eye contact, stop and look both ways for all pedestrians.

Try something new today for Long Beach Virtual Walk to School Week.
