Flashing Pedestrian Crossing Lights State law requires, you must stop at any marked intersection, with lights or without, if there is a pedestrian attempting to cross. It is illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – you must assume a pedestrian is crossing. Pedestrians should cross at marked crosswalks and should always operate the lights. After pedestrians have cleared the intersection, vehicles may proceed. Cycling on Butler or Jones is dangerous! Please use the 2nd Ave bike route. Cyclists have all the responsibilities of vehicles, including stopping at stop signs! Cyclists also have all the rights of motor vehicles. Drivers MUST provide 3’ clearance when passing a cyclist! Remember, the Butler Ave speed limit is 30 MPH from the Curve to Tybrisa. TIPD CRASE Training and Volunteers The Tybee Island Police Department is hosting "Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events" class, Tuesday, July 5th at 6PM in the courtroom at TIPD. This training was designed by Texas State University's ALERRT program to help increase your chances of survival should you find yourself in an active shooter situation. The program is FREE, but seating is limited. Please reserve your spot today by contacting: Lt. Emory Randolph (erandolph@cityoftybee.org ) or Jessica Wright (jwright@cityoftybee.org). You can also reach them 8AM-4PM. Monday-Friday by calling (912)786-5600. TIPD also is looking for volunteers to help with large scale events for 2016 including Fourth of July. Contact Jessica Wright at 912-472-5096 to attend the monthly meeting at 5:30 pm, June 3. Recycling and Waste Effective April 1st, Atlantic Waste took over garbage, yard waste, and recyclables hauling. After service began, Atlantic made a few service changes. “Side-door pickup” continues. No need to move your trash bins to the curb; keep your waste containers in a visible and accessible location so the crew can find them without disturbing your privacy. Waste and recycling will be picked up Monday thru Thursday. All yard trash is picked up on Fridays, island-wide. Yard waste needs to be bundled or placed in paper-only bags for pick-up – no plastic bags! Detailed information about all these changes can be found at our new website; look under the Services menu, and select Waste and Recycling. Recycling Please be sure to use the bag recycling locations noted below the calendar above to recycle your plastic bags. Even though the return on recycled goods has been lower lately, our costs for landfill use and YOUR cost for waste services are still higher if we do not place as much recyclable materials in the recycle bins as possible. As always, Styrofoam and plastic wrap/film/bags are not recyclable. As new glass is now cheaper than recycled glass, virtually no one is recycling glass any longer – place glass in your trash bin, NOT the recycle bin! Please recycle!
