Slow down and keep your eyes open for school buses and pedestrians! Lots of congestion and detouring starting next week so please do your part to help keep our kids safe!!!!

With construction underway, many neighborhood streets are seeing more traffic than usual as drivers navigate detours and alternate routes. We’re asking everyone to please slow down, stay alert, and use extra caution when traveling through these areas.

Please remember you’re driving through someone’s neighborhood. That means watching for kids, pedestrians, pets, and increased local activity. A few extra seconds can make a big difference in keeping everyone safe.

Construction impacts all of us, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation. Let’s continue to look out for one another and be respectful of our neighbors as we make our way through these busier streets. 🚧

Let’s keep our kids safe!

Effective yesterday, state law now requires drivers to stop at least 20 feet away from a school bus when its red lights are flashing, regardless of if the stop arm is extended.

This is for the safety of all. Do not risk getting a ticket or going to jail for the savings of a few seconds.

Also, do not be that person who keeps inching forward as you wait. You are not going to save any more time by moving forward 14.25"...give the kids time and room.
