Unscramble the Blue Letters
Now, fast-forward four years, and I am peselad to report that many of the children's ideas are being implemented in the cviic Area. For example, there will be irpovmed access to beuldor cerek, so kids can play safely in the water. Lighting in previously dark underpasses, so high school students can walk home salefy after school at night. And separated biking and walking paths, so speeding bikers won't hit young people as they stroll by the creek. My daughter and I even skated on a new, child-requested ice-skating rink, last winter.

Original Text
Now, fast-forward four years, and I am pleased to report that many of the children's ideas are being implemented in the Civic Area. For example, there will be improved access to Boulder Creek, so kids can play safely in the water. Lighting in previously dark underpasses, so high school students can walk home safely after school at night. And separated biking and walking paths, so speeding bikers won't hit young people as they stroll by the creek. My daughter and I even skated on a new, child-requested ice-skating rink, last winter.
