    Pedestrian and Driving Safety Workshop

    By Armen Garabedian


    GLENDALE, CA on Thursday, June 5, 2014, at 10 am, Armen Garabedian,
    Community Service Officer will present a workshop on Pedestrian and
    Driving Safety at the Glendale Central Library Auditorium, 222 East
    Harvard Street in Glendale. The workshop is in Armenian. Admission is
    free. Library visitors receive 3 hours FREE parking across the street
    at The Market Place parking structure with validation at the Loan
    Desk.

    The Glendale Library, Arts & Culture Department has planned a series
    of Survival Skills Workshops to inform and educate the Glendale
    residents on all services and resources available at the City of
    Glendale. Library, Arts & Culture and the Police Department has put
    together a Pedestrian and Driving safety workshop. This first workshop
    will focus on Pedestrian and Driving Safety. The purpose of this
    workshop is to focus on older adults, and road safety issues, and to
    provide adults with strategies for safer walking. According to
    Glendale News-Press, "last year, five people lost their lives in
    pedestrian-involved traffic collisions. Police have logged 14
    pedestrian deaths - most of which have been seniors - between 2008 and
    2013." We strongly believe by educating and re-enforcing the rules
    regarding road safety we can prevent the number of fatalities in
    future. Therefore, we urge our community members and advocates to
    participate and to bring ideas to improve walkability in our
    community.
