Girl Scout donation to bring three bike-safety signs to Rome parks
Summary
A Girl Scout project led by Aislin Jaskolka will donate three bicycle-safety signs to Rome for placement at Bellamy Harbor Park (near SFM Skatepark), Hazleton Park, and Pinty Field; the council accepted the $400 donation by resolution.
Bobby O'Brien, speaking for the Rome Waterways and Trails Advocacy Group (RTAG), asked the council to accept a donation of three bicycle-safety signs created as part of a Girl Scout Gold Award project by Aislin Jaskolka. O'Brien said the signs are intended to promote bike safety for Oneida County children and described proposed placements at Bellamy Harbor Park (below the existing bicycle sign, across from SFM Skatepark), Hazleton Park, and Pinty Field (SEG 041-056).
Danielle Salisbury from the city's Community and Economic Development department introduced Aislin and her mother to RTAG in August and supported the project presentation to the advisory group (SEG 074-076). Councilors who sponsored the resolution and council leadership thanked Aislin for the donation; Resolution 151 accepting the $400 donation carried (SEG 241-257).
The donation is intended as a community safety measure geared toward children; a printed copy of the sign was included with the agenda materials and a speaker offered to provide another copy for council review (SEG 056-058).
