Representatives from the Police Department and Flock will discuss many questions Council received and, as time allows, other questions from members of Council or residents. Please attend if interested.

🚔 Labor Day Weekend Reminder: Plan Your Ride Home!

Labor Day weekend is a time to relax, celebrate, and enjoy time with friends and family. If alcohol is part of your plans, make sure a sober driver is part of them, too.

🍺 If you drink, don’t drive.
🚗 Choose a designated sober driver before the celebration begins.
📱 Use a rideshare or taxi if you need one.
🏠 Make arrangements to stay overnight if necessary.

A few minutes of planning can prevent a lifetime of regret. Let’s all do our part to keep our roads safe this Labor Day weekend.

Have fun. Celebrate responsibly. Get home safely. 🇺🇸

🚍 PLEASE STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES — WOOSTER PIKE & EVERYWHERE IN OHIO 🚍

Ohio law is very clear: When a school bus is stopped to pick up or drop off children and its red warning lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, YOU MUST STOP.

📌 Ohio Revised Code 4511.75 says:
• Stop at least 10 feet from the front or rear of the school bus.
• Do NOT proceed until the bus starts moving again or the bus driver signals you to proceed.
• This applies when you are meeting or overtaking a stopped school bus.
• If you are traveling behind a stopped school bus, you must stop — do not pass it.
• There is a limited exception for vehicles traveling in the opposite direction when the highway is divided into four or more traffic lanes. That exception does NOT allow a driver traveling in the same direction as the bus to pass it.

⚠️ Please pay particular attention on Wooster Pike. If you see a school bus stopped with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, SLOW DOWN AND STOP. Do not try to squeeze around the bus, race past it, or assume you have enough time to get through. This is not a four lane road, EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND TRAFFIC MUST STOP!!

Children may be stepping into the roadway, and they can be difficult to see until it is too late.

Violating Ohio's school-bus stopping law can result in a fine of up to $500, and the court may also suspend your driver's license.

Please share this. This isn't about getting someone a ticket — it's about making sure a child gets home safely.

🚨 RED LIGHTS + STOP ARM = STOP. 🚨

Know the law. Follow the law. Protect our children.

🎒🚍 Back to School (8/19/2026) Safety Reminder! 🚸

School is back, and that means more school buses, children walking to and from school, and families sharing the roadways. Let’s all do our part to keep our students safe!

🚌 School Bus Safety
• Slow down and watch for buses making frequent stops.
• Always stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, as required by law.
• Give buses plenty of space and never pass a stopped bus when children are boarding or getting off.

🚶 Pedestrian Safety
• Slow down and stay alert in school zones and residential areas.
• Always yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
• Stop behind the crosswalk and give pedestrians plenty of time to cross.
• Children may not always be predictable—be prepared for them to enter the roadway unexpectedly.

📵 Put the phone down, stay focused, and remember: arriving a little later is always better than not arriving at all.

Let’s make this school year a safe and successful one for everyone in our community! 🏫💙

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE has provided updated information regarding the severe weather and flooding threats this week. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected over the next few days through at least Wednesday. There is some uncertainty on the exact timing and location of storms as each round is somewhat contingent on the previous round. The primary threats continue to be damaging straight-line winds and flash flooding. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Hamilton County which is in effect through Wednesday, August 12th at 8:00 a.m.

TUESDAY: Hamilton County is under an enhanced risk for severe weather (Level 3/5) and a moderate risk for flash flooding (Level 4/5).
* Multiple storms are expected throughout the day on Tuesday and into the evening and overnight hours.
* Heavy rainfall is possible (leading to flash flooding). All rounds have the potential for heavy rain.
* Damaging straight-line winds. At this time the highest concern with wind comes during the afternoon/evening hours (3:00pm - 9:00pm).
* An isolated tornado is also possible.

WEDNESDAY: Additional storms are forecasted. Areas where storms move over repeatedly will be at a greater risk for flash flooding. Flash flooding and damaging winds are the primary threats of concern. However, the severe threat will be lower compared to Tuesday.
