Pedestrian Crossings
State law requires you must stop at any marked intersection, with or without lights, 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 PLEASE cross at marked crosswalks and always operate the lights. After pedestrians have cleared the intersection, vehicles September
proceed without waiting for flashers to stop.
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.
Election Season is Under Way
Three seats on Council are open to be filled during this fall’s election cycle. Please watch for candidate information and platform information to make a decision when the election takes
place November 6th. The last day to register for this year’s election will be October 10th.
School is Back in Session
As with the cross-walks and cyclists in general, please drive carefully and keep in mind that bicyclists have the same rights on the road and, in fact, must be given a wide berth by
automobiles. Watch out for children!
