For the last year, Benton County Public Health and Vinton-Shellsburg community members have been working diligently to collect valuable data to address safety concerns in our community through a project called I-WALK, an Iowa Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. Please join us for a one-hour presentation addressing barriers and opportunities identified and recommendations for our community to become a safer place for people of all ages.
