Temporary Traffic Signal on SR-530 at Smokey Point Boulevard Goes Live
 |
|
|
M&O staff member Kelly Larson removes the covers from the temporary signal |
The temporary traffic signal on SR-530 at Smokey Point Boulevard was turned on just before 2:00 p.m. today.
The City appreciates the public's patience while crews from Snohomish County completed the new roadway striping and Snohomish County PUD installed additional street lighting. These last elements were required to be completed before the City could turn on the signal for the public's safety.
The temporary signal has been one of the highest priority projects for the Mayor and City Council to see completed as quickly as possible. Although many of us would like it to be easier, getting permission to install a new traffic signal on a State Highway is not easy. There are multiple studies and approvals that must obtained before the traffic signal is installed and turned on. We appreciate the tireless work by the City of Arlington's Public Works staff, including Public Works Director Jim Kelly and City Engineer Ryan Morrison, with their work with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to reach this stage.
A more permanent solution to the increased traffic on SR-530 is being actively worked on by the Mayor, City Council, and City staff with our partners at WSDOT, Snohomish County, the Stillaguamish Tribe, and the Washington State Legislature.

North County Fire and EMS and Arlington Fire Department Launch Community Resource Paramedic Program
The City of Arlington Fire Department and North County Fire & EMS are excited to announce a partnership to launch a Community Resource Paramedic program.
The Community Resource Paramedic program will be bridging a gap between the patients firefighters see regularly and the community services that already exist to help meet their needs. Through a contract with the City of Arlington, North County Fire & EMS will be providing the service to the area both agencies serve.
Firefighters from Arlington and North County Fire can use the Community Resource Paramedic service to keep paramedic units available for higher risk emergency responses and reduce visits to the ER. The program is designed to work with people released from hospitals to keep them from needing a return trip, connect residents with the more than 50 social service agencies that can provide medical and non-medical assistance, remove barriers to health care services, and assist our law enforcement embedded social worker teams. Community Resource Paramedic programs are typically less costly and more effective in meeting the true needs of patients that make multiple calls to 911 for services or multiple trips to the emergency room for non-emergency health care needs.
Darin Reid was appointed to the position of Community Resource Paramedic in February 2019 by North County Fire & EMS. Paramedic Reid has 33 years of experience in the fire service, primarily in Clark, Island and Snohomish counties.
North County Fire and EMS Chief John Cermak stated, "We are excited to bring this new service to the residents of North County and Arlington that has proven to improve patient care and connect patients to the services they truly need."
Arlington Fire Chief Dave Kraski said, "The Community Paramedic program has reduced emergency service costs for taxpayers in other nearby communities. We are optimistic that the program will have the same results here."

| Arlington Police Reminds You to Secure Your Vehicles
In the last week, the Arlington Police Department has seen an increase in vehicle prowls in neighborhoods off SR-9 and 67th Ave NE. Items such as firearms, credit cards, and cash have been stolen. The majority of these prowls have been crimes of opportunity, usually from unsecured vehicles.
This is a friendly reminder to secure vehicles, remove valuable items, and keep a watchful eye out for suspicious behavior. If you warm up your car in the morning and your vehicle does not have an automatic start feature, please stay with your vehicle while it is warming up.
Report any suspicious circumstances and crimes to 9-1-1 or the non-emergency number (425) 407-3999.
If you would like to see crime trends in your neighborhood, check out
Community Crime Map
. You can also sign up for regular crime alert updates.

Arlington Police Go Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Real men and women wear pink. Over the past few years, the Arlington Police Officer's Association (APOA) has supported all types of cancer awareness by wearing pink badges and growing facial hair for Movember. This year, in addition to promoting cancer awareness and men's health issues, APOA members have added a new internal fundraising facet to their annual 2019 campaign.
This year's campaign will consist of four months of internal fundraising. During the period of September 1st to October 31st, funds
will be raised and donated to an individual who is currently fighting cancer. During the period of November 1st to December 31st, funds raised will be donated to a local community health foundation that focuses on mental health and/or substance abuse treatment.
Each APOA member who chooses to grow facial hair is required to donate a minimum $40 for each month of participation with their contribution being matched by the association.
Thank you, APOA, for your support for a healthier community!
