Road Safety
The police department continues to hear the public's concerns about traffic on 1st Ave SE, specifically around Centerpoint Church.
Parents: First, please talk to your children about the safest route to and from their destination. If possible, use the sidewalks or trail system. If they need to cross the road, talk to them about stopping, looking both ways, and waiting for the road to be safe before crossing. This also applies to kids walking and on bikes.
Drivers: Please slow down, be prepared to stop, and allow extra time to reach your destination. This area is especially congested during school drop-off and dismissal.
Let's all work together to stay safe and enjoy the upcoming warmer weather.
