Pedestrian Crossings
All vehicles must stop for any pedestrian crossing at any marked
intersection, with or without lights. It is illegal to pass a car
stopped at a crosswalk – you must assume a pedestrian is crossing.
Pedestrians, PLEASE, use marked crosswalks and always
operate lights. You are helping to train drivers! After pedestrians
clear intersection, vehicles may proceed without waiting for flashers.
WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN!
Cyclists, please, use 2nd Ave/Van Horn bike routes. Cyclists have
all responsibilities of vehicles, including stopping at stop signs, but also
have all rights of motor vehicles. Drivers must provide 3’ clearance
when passing a bicycle!
Save Yourself Time and Paper!
Did you know you can get your monthly utility bill and newsletter via
email? You can also pay online or set up automatic payments. If your
billing history shows you have a consistent monthly usage, arranging
autopay is a great way to free up time and make sure payment is never
late. To pay your bill online, have your most recent bill in hand – you’ll
need the amount of your most recent payment - then set up an
account, or make a one-time payment by visiting
https://www.municipalonlinepayments.com/tybeeislandga/utilities. To
arrange for electronic billing or to set up an ACH (autopay), contact
Nalene Conway at 912.472.5025 or email her at
nconway@cityoftybee.org. (You can find the form at
https://www.cityoftybee.org/DocumentCenter/View/401/Automatic-
Payment-Form-PDF.)
Movies in the Park
This summer, the always-popular Movies in the Park series
finishes the season on August 17 with Mama Mia. Bring your
blankets, chairs, snacks, and kids to watch these free movies in
Memorial Park at sundown; projection will show the movie on
the Gym’s north wall. Head to the gym in case of rain!
Weather Siren Test Change
Weather siren testing is at 11AM for Tybee, a different time than
Chatham County. This time change will allow immediate voice
notification following the test to confirm, ‘This is a test.” Testing still
takes place on the first Wednesday.
Water Supply Line Replacement Project
Streets east of Butler are having water supply lines replaced. The dates
are subject to change with the current schedule in a News Flash on the
city’s web site. Obviously, water will be out nearby while each upgrade
is under way.
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. Please watch the city calendar online, for
schedule updates. Mayor Buelterman’s monthly Night In is for issues
more appropriate to Council than to the City Manager and is second
Tuesday each month. Call Jan LeViner, 472.5080, for an appointment.
