Spring is here and more people are out and about. Please take our confidential survey to see how we measure up on safety issues.
Spring is here (well, even if it does seem like summer certain days), and many more students and families are walking, biking, and skateboarding around town. Our Safe Routes to School program is still going strong. Watch for more kids to be wearing helmets -- we just ordered about 160 to give away at the Library through their Feet First and Reading to Ride programs and for the Cycling Tigers at the Elementary School. Even with those new helmets, we want to avoid crashing into them!Read more»
