Take the Tybee Bicycling survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KL9KSJW
Summer Means Pedestrians and Bikes!
If you are cycling on Tybee, please use the bike route down 2nd Avenue. Cycling on Butler or Jones in heavy seasonal traffic constitutes a significant danger to everyone! If you are
driving, remember, cyclists have all the rights of a motor vehicle, and you MUST provide a 3’ distance from the nearest cyclist when passing!
Georgia State Law requires that you STOP for pedestrians in all marked cross walks. If someone is crossing or trying to cross in a marked sidewalk, you must stop. It is also illegal
to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – you must assume a pedestrian is crossing. Also remember the speed limit on Butler Ave is 30 MPH from the Curve all the way to Tybrisa. Following
our speed limit will help you stop at crosswalks, too!
Bicycle Rodeo
The Bicycling Rodeo returns Saturday, April 28th, 10am-1pm, at the Old School Cafeteria and parking lot. In conjunction with YMCA's Healthy Kids Day, your children can come by to learn
about bicycle skills & safety, including: how to safely fit a bike helmet; bicycle rules of the road; bicycle mechanical safety checklist; cycling navigation and control skills. Application
and waiver forms are available at the Tybee Gymnasium check in desk at the YMCA or at City Hall from the Cashier’s Desk.
Online Utility Billing is Here!
Paperless utility billing is now available. If you would like to go paper free, please email utilitybilling@cityoftybee.org and include your name, account number, phone number, and email
address to which the bill should be sent. You may also visit the City’s web site article “Opt-in to Electronic Utility Billing” and click the link for an email form. Alternatively,

Business Registration Fees Due

Citizens’ Tuesday with the City Manager
