Town Safety Warnings


The Town continues to receive numerous complaints regarding speeding cars, particularly in neighborhoods around our schools.  The problem is particularly pronounced around school start and stop times, exactly when speeding is especially problematic as it is when our children are making their way to and from school on bikes and on foot. 
 
We continue to hear from residents about speeding issues, as well as poor driving habits, such as not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks, rolling through stop signs and general inattention.  Residents report that these poor driving habits are widespread and very scary for pedestrians, bicyclists and other drivers. 
 
We all need to do our part to help solve this problem in our community.  Here are a few tips that may help:

  • Leave several minutes early for your destination so that you don’t feel the need to rush.
  • Stop completely at stop signs; don’t assume that someone isn’t going to be coming from another direction.
  • When driving through residential neighborhoods, respect the fact that speeding through these areas endangers pedestrians, children and pets.
  • Respect the neighborhoods around schools; drive carefully and park legally.
  • Don’t believe that this is somebody else’s problem – we all need to be part of the solution.

 Please help me pass this important message along to others in our community.

Art Talk Tuesday


The World of Charles and Ray Eames
Tuesday, January 8
12pm, Council Chambers

Fueled by their belief in design as a way of life, the innovative husband and wife duo Charles and Ray Eames were two of the most influential designers of the twentieth century. The Eameses—who founded The Eames Office—valued knowledge and discovery, embraced the joy of trial and error, and saw no separation between life and work. Discover the story of the Eameses and explore their designs with Avril Angevine, a docent from the Oakland Museum of California.
