We are revealing the contest winner for our artists, for PAL contests. Pal stands for being predictable, alert and lawful, and if you do, these, things will all be able to share the street safely. What we did was have a contest where middle and high school aged kids were allowed to design a whole art bus in the theme of pal, and so we had twenty six contestants and then we had an online voting on Facebook and Twitter and we had about 1700 people voting and today we're going to be revealing the winter.

In addition, the street is green, reminding people to walk or bike more great job. Congratulations in the hypha way to go a.
