The winning posters were picked by foundation board members Bob and Carmen Pack, Danville Mayor Mike Shimansky, San Ramon Valley Unified School District Trustee Bill Clarkson and San Ramon Mayor H. Abram Wilson. Street Smarts is a partnership between the cities, the school district, the county and the San Ramon Valley Council of PTAs.
