📢We need your help, parents and guardians!

With school out for summer break and the beautiful warm weather, we are seeing more and more kiddos and teens traveling around town on electric scooters.

We have had a number of close calls and what could be serious accidents with individuals riding scooters without regard for personal safety, traffic laws, or caution when crossing intersections and streets.

PLEASE visit with your children about the importance of safety while riding e- scooters and bikes - the need to yield at intersections, use the lighted cross walk signals whenever they are available. Stop and watch for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, UTV's, ATV's. Help them understand the safety issues and concerns when they are operating e-scooters or bikes into vehicular traffic. The need to wear proper safety equipment such as helmets, knee, and elbow pads, closed towed shoes while riding.

Thank you for your assistance keeping our community and residents safe!
