Pedestrian Crossings
All vehicles must stop for any pedestrian attempting to cross
at any marked intersection, with or without lights. It is
illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – visibility is
restricted so assume a pedestrian is crossing. Pedestrians,
PLEASE, use marked crosswalks and always operate
the lights. You are helping to train drivers! After pedestrians
clear the intersection, vehicles may proceed without waiting
for flashers to stop.
WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN!
Cyclists, please, use 2nd Ave/Van Horn bike routes.
Cyclists have all responsibilities of vehicles, including stopping
at stop signs! Cyclists also have all rights of motor vehicles.
Drivers must provide 3’ clearance when passing a cyclist!
Beach Bum
May 17th, 6:30 PM, is the Beach Bum Parade. Don’t pretend
you didn’t know! If you are new to Tybee or having visitors,
keep your windows closed and doors locked while driving on
the island any time this particular Friday! Remember - ONLY
water spraying is permitted – and NONE of the following:
▪ water balloons
▪ pressure washers
▪ ice or ice-chilled water
▪ other damaging liquids
▪ anything considered dangerous
▪ spraying water on law enforcement (will result in arrest)
City Manager’s Morning In and Mayor’s Night In
City Manager Shawn Gillen is at Tybee Oaks’ Tybean most
Fridays for coffee from 9-10AM. You’ll need your own coffee,
but share of mind with the CM comes free! Please watch the
city calendar online, for schedule updates. Mayor Buelterman
has a monthly Night In to discuss issues more appropriate to
Council than to the City Manager. Mayor’s Night In is second
Tuesday each month. Call Jan LeViner, 472.5080, for an
appointment.
Water Supply Line replacement project
Streets east of Butler will have water lines replaced at
different times through September. In May, the schedule calls
for the following work to be completed: 2nd Terrace, 5/6; 2nd
Place, 5/20; and 10th Court, 5/27. These dates are subject to
change - the full schedule is in a News Flash on the city’s web
site. Obviously, water will be out nearby while each upgrade
is under way.
Work on Highway 80
The repaving project on Highway 80 between Lazaretto Creek
and Bull River bridges has finally begun. Paving takes place
after 7PM on weekday nights only. The section undergoing
the upgrade will be one lane traffic with flagmen to control
traffic.
