Our target population is all the children who live in the Kingston City School District. In the first two years we are focusing on just the City of Kingston, but with success of Complete Street policy there, we'd like to expand our reach to the Town of Ulster in years 3 and 4 of the grant. I agree that both Ulster and Albany Ave need to be a complete street, and we are currently including the entire school district in our walkability mapping project. If you'd like to find out more or still have a connection to Kingston, drop me a line! Check out our website.

Fighting childhood obesity is a tough battle, but small strides make a huge difference. Enjoyed this article. Fighting childhood obesity is a tough battle, but small strides make a huge difference.

My earlier comment seems to have gotten lost, but here's my response: http://grieve-smith.com/transportation////blog1.php/2010/05/27/complete-streets-need-to-cross-city-limits In my personal experience growing up near Kingston, the real problem is not within the City of Kingston, but in the Town of Ulster, which contains the current de facto economic center of the city. It is Ulster Avenue that needs to be a complete street. If this grant stops at the city limits, it will fall far short of its potential to serve the children of Kingston.
