Attendees included representatives from the Culver City Unified School District, Culver City Police Department, Culver City Public Works, local residents, and parents of Linwood Howe students.

Consultants are now preparing a funding application to the State of California for Linwood E. Howe to implement improvements and programs to encourage parents and children to walk and bike to school.

The Safe Routes to School Workshop for the Culver City Bicycle and Pedestrian Initiative is a part of the PLACE Grant, a collaboration of the City of Culver City, Alta Planning and Design and L.A. County Bicycle Coalition.
