Crosby Named Fit City

Governor Tim Pawlenty has designated Crosby as a Governor's Fit City. The city earned the recognition by making a commitment to support and encourage its residents to be more physically active and to improve the overall health of the community.

The Govrnor says the leaders of Crosby have made a strong commitment to provide physical activity opportunities for people in their city, and that commitment will help keep Crosby citizens healthy for years to come.

Crosby achieved its designation by Developing a system of parks, trails, and accessible neighborhood parks; requiring that neighborhood streets be designed with pedestrians and bicyclists in mind and locating schools in walkable neighborhoods or creating walkable routes to existing schools.

Crosby will receive a plaque from Governor Pawlenty and may.
