Dear Chief Zerwas:
Congratulations! Elk River has earned the Pedestrian Safety Citation Award in the
American Automobile Association's 55th annual Pedestrian Protection Program. The
award is given to communities that have gone nine or fewer consecutive years without
a pedestrian death. Elk River has gone 1 year without a pedestrian death.
.
Enclosed with your award are two copies of a news release for you to hand out to your
local media. We encourage you to submit the release to local newspapers with a black
and white glossy photo so that the papers can publicly recognize your efforts. Also
enclosed is a list of winning Minnesota cities, and the AAA Pedestrian Protection
Program winner's fact sheet for your city.
The goal of the Pedestrian Protection Program is to focus attention on pedestrian
safety across the country by recognizing those communities that are most successful.
Thank you for your efforts, and for being a shining example to other cities in the state
of Minnesota.
Sincerely,
cJ~'.~
