As mowing season is in full swing, grass clippings left on roadways can create hazardous conditions, particularly for motorcyclists and bicyclists. When wet, grass clippings can become as slippery as ice, increasing the risk of crashes and injuries. They can also clog storm drains and create additional roadway maintenance concerns.

Keep grass clippings out of the roadway and dispose of them properly to keep our roads safe!

Today, we remember D-Day,June 6, 1944,when Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in history on the beaches of Normandy, France.

More than 150,000 American, British, Canadian, and Allied troops crossed the English Channel to begin the liberation of Western Europe from N**i occupation. Many never made it home. Their courage, sacrifice, and determination helped change the course of World War II and defend the freedoms we continue to cherish today.

The Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office joins our community and nation in honoring the service members who fought on D-Day, those who gave their lives, and all who carried the burden of that historic mission.

We remember them not only for what they did, but for what they gave, their youth, their safety, and in many cases, their lives, so future generations could live free.

We will never forget.

Recently, the DeWitt Police Department has received an increase in complaints regarding commercial truck traffic in the Jamesville Road and I-81/481 corridor. In response, we have conducted several Commercial Vehicle Enforcement details focused on improving roadway safety in the area.

Today, another enforcement detail was conducted in partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation Motor Carrier Division and the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office. During the detail, 40 transportation law violations were discovered, including 14 out-of-service violations; the majority involving defective brakes.

These types of violations pose a significant danger to the motoring public, especially on heavily traveled roadways. We appreciate the collaborative efforts of our partner agencies and remain committed to addressing community concerns and keeping our roads safe for everyone.

Thank you to New York State Department of Transportation and Onondaga County Sheriff's Office for their assistance in today's success.
