City

Walk Score, a Seattle-based company that rates how walkable a city is based on how far residents must go to reach grocery stores, entertainment, parks and other amenities, recently expanded its website to include Bike Score. Bike Score uses a similar algorithm to rate a city’s bikeability, based on factors like terrain, bike lanes and destinations. Dallas is ranked “somewhat bikeable.”

The LBJ Express Project’s leaders were honored at the American Road and Transportation Builders Association’s 14th annual globe awards June 3. The project was recognized for “outstanding efforts in maintaining environmental protection and standards throughout each phase of construction.”

Health

The brains over at Cooper Aerobics released a product, which they promise will improve athletes’ vision and, in turn, their performance. Cooper Complete Nutritional Supplements, which were developed by Kenneth H. Cooper of Cooper Aerobics, just released a new supplement to its line that is said to help eyes’ tolerance to light, immunity, muscle strength, endurance and more. The new supplement, Cooper Complete MVP, combine Flora-GLO Lutein and Zeaxanthin, Omega-3, and Vitamin D-3 for athletes of any age. MVP uses vision improvement to aid athletic performance. The company says that food alone cannot provide athletes with enough nutrients for optimal eye health.

Students

Lamplighter’s Young Alumni Association participated in the private school’s third-annual car wash May 18 to help pay for the land the school acquired from Hockaday in 2010, while also collecting accessories for the nonprofit Attitudes and Attire. Young alumni chairwoman Katherine Dau and fellow alumni organized the event and held monthly meetings prior to it. Their hard work paid off: They raised more than $7,400.
