The Watch the Road team once again participated in the Opera Walk hosted by Councilwoman Jan Perry’s office. Thanks to excellent support provided by the Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Traffic Control, and the LAPD, the walk was a great success. Traffic safety training was conducted by the Watch the Road team for all attending the field trip. This year, 350 students from San Pedro Elementary walked down about three blocks to the Santee Educational Center’s auditorium to see the “Magic Dream” put on by the LA Opera.

The safety training took place one day prior to the event, on January 18, for all 350 third through fifth grade students participating in the field trip. On the day of the event, LADOT provided four Traffic Officers spread across the route from San Pedro Elementary to Santee Educational Center to ensure the students safe arrival. The LA Opera put on a great show, and was followed by Jan Perry addressing the students and teachers.
