EAST SIDE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS STARTING SOON

API will soon start construction on the City’s latest Community Crossings Matching Grant project. This will include curb ramps/limited sidewalk replacement and resurfacing of the following streets:

E. Quincy from Randolph to Taylor
Sullivan from Quincy to Keyser
Collins from Quincy to Keyser
2nd St. from Quincy to E. Houston
E. Keyser from Harrison to dead end
1st St. from King to Keyser

Concrete work is scheduled to begin the week of August 24. Asphalt replacement will begin in October. All work will be complete by December 1. During this time, on street parking may be disrupted and roads may be closed to through traffic. We will do our best to notify those affected prior to the restrictions occurring.

We know our East Side residents are already navigating disruptions caused from the new school construction and we truly appreciate your patience as we work to upgrade our city streets and infrastructure. Please drive cautiously around work zones and equipment.

If you have any questions concerning this project, please contact the Planning Department at [email protected].

So thankful to have this training on this resource available to our officers to better serve our community. Thank you to the DeKalb County Prosecutor’s Office for offering this and to the Auburn Police Department for hosting!

It teaches law enforcement how to identify victims most at risk of being killed and encourages them to get help.

🎒📚 Ready or not… the first day of school is HERE! 🚌✏️

Welcome back, Garrett-Keyser-Butler Schools! We hope the backpacks are packed, the alarms actually went off, and everyone remembered where they left their shoes. 😅

While students are getting back into the school routine, drivers have a little homework too:

🚌 Watch for school buses
🚸 Slow down in school zones
👀 Keep an eye out for kids walking and biking
📵 Phones down, eyes up

And remember—being late is better than getting a ticket… or causing a crash. 😉

Have an awesome first day, GKB! Let’s start the school year off safe! 🚓💙

🚌 School starts in just a few days! ✏️📚

As students head back to the classroom, remember to slow down, stay alert, and keep distractions away while driving. 🚗👀

Watch for children walking and biking, obey school-zone speed limits, and always stop for school buses when required. 🛑🚌

A few extra seconds of caution can make all the difference. Let’s work together to keep our students safe this school year! 🚓💙

We mourn the tragic loss of Lynn, Indiana Police Department Marshal Brad Fisher, who devoted more than 25 years to serving his community as a law enforcement officer, volunteer firefighter, EMT, coach, and mentor. His dedication, compassion, and commitment to others left a lasting impact on countless lives.

Our heartfelt condolences are with Marshal Fisher’s family, the Lynn Police Department, and the entire Lynn and Randolph County community during this profoundly difficult time. Rest in peace, Marshal Fisher. 🖤💙🖤
