Bikes and Peds and Bikes and Peds Cycling on Butler or Jones is dangerous! Cycling on sidewalks is dangerous and illegal! If cycling on Tybee, please use the 2nd Ave/Van Horn-Cedarwood-Meddin bike routes. If you are driving, keep in mind that cyclists have all the rights of a motor vehicle, and you MUST provide 3’ from the nearest cyclist when passing! STOP for any pedestrians crossing or trying to cross at any marked crosswalks. It is illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – you must assume a pedestrian is crossing. Remember, the speed limit on Butler Ave is 30 MPH from the Curve to Tybrisa. Let your out-of-town guests and friends know! Summer Movies Tybee’s Main Street Program will be hosting Summer Movie Nights at Memorial Park the third Saturday of June, July and August. The movie on June 21 will be Disney’s Frozen beginning at “dark-thirty”. Admission is free. Road Paving Paving by Carroll and Carroll will begin on Chatham, 12th street and Veterans Drive on Monday, June 2nd. This project shouldn`t take more than two to three days. Some equipment will be staged in the 19th and Chatham Parking lots beginning May 28th and 29th. NEVER Leave Children or Pets in Vehicles Unattended When parked in the sun, inside your car can be 40-50° hotter than the air outside. Leaving your windows cracked makes very little difference. Even on a pleasant, 70° day, your car will warm up to 120° or more. On a hot, sunny, summer day, the interior of your car can easily reach 150°! In only 5-10 minutes, your child or pet can die in that kind of heat. Running into the store for “just a minute” can stretch well beyond those few critical minutes, because you see someone with whom you need to speak, you forgot something, you have an accident, or the line is a bit longer than expected. Those few minutes can lead to a terrible tragedy – it is never worth it! Police Department is Open for Business! Despite construction, which is humming along briskly, at the Police Station, you can still get in to speak to officers, detectives, and staff. If usual doors are inaccessible, please contact Dispatch, 786-5600, to make other arrangements. Continue to call 911 for emergencies! New Water & Sewer Lines From June 5th until Labor Day, various water lines and force mains will be replaced from Chatham up Jones, out to Polk Street area, finishing down Lewis. Traffic will be open each evening, but may be blocked during the day in each section of the project. A map and estimated dates for each section can be found on the Water and Sewer Department’s web page.
