Sylvan Middle School is new this year, a campus reconstructed and expanded from the old Citrus Heights. As part of this, new bike racks and skateboard/scooter racks were installed.
The bike racks are modern inverted-U racks, that offer two points of support for keeping bikes upright and easy locking. This morning, the first day of school, there were 16 bike riders. There is a capacity for 68 bikes.
The skateboard/scooter racks are also modern, and perhaps the best available. Both skateboards and scooters can be stored, and locked securely. This morning, there were 3 skateboard riders and 11 scooter riders. There is a capacity for 40 skateboards or scooters.
All racks are within a fenced, lockable compound on a hard clean surface. This is not only an improvement from what Sylvan had at its old campus, but is the best the district has to offer, so far. We hope that these new, modern racks that provide security for student’s rides will encourage even more students to bike, skateboard, and scooter.
