Niles students are participating in a two-day event to promote street safety and walkability, part of an effort to help the city secure state grants for infrastructure projects. The “Safe Street Demo Week,” a joint effort between Niles City Schools and the City of Niles, is taking place September 1 and 2 on the streets surrounding the middle school. Students from Niles Middle School planned the events alongside Dean of Students Brian McConnell and Niles City Planner and Grant Coordinator Bianca Rozenblad. They also partnered with Trumbull County Public Health, Youngstown State University and Creating Healthy Communities.
