Be a Good Neighbor... Follow the Codes
|
|
Only Park on Approved Surfaces
|
City zoning ordinances prohibit motor vehicles from being parked in a front yard, except on an authorized driveway.
The code also requires that all parking and loading spaces, drive aisles, maneuvering areas, driveways, and fire lanes be paved with an asphalt, concrete, or masonry surface to a sufficient thickness to withstand repeated vehicular traffic based on an engineered design approved by the City Engineer and should not generate dust.

Wishing You a Safe & Relaxing Labor Day!
|
Did you know this year marks the 125th anniversary of the Labor Day holiday? While it was created to celebrate the social and economic achievements of American workers, Labor Day also serves as encouragement that the end of these sweltering summer months is near!
We hope you enjoy the holiday and remember:
- Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use.
- Be safe in a crowd by always staying with a group, having a cell phone, and exchanging phone numbers.
- Stay hydrated.
- Watch the weather and seek shelter if any weather warnings are issued.
- Swim near a lifeguard’s chair and designate a “Water Watcher” that will pay attention to children and weaker swimmers.
And, after the holiday, when we are all back to the grind, please remember school is back in session and use extra caution around bus stops and increased traffic.
- The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus.
- When passing a bicyclist, proceed in the same direction slowly and leave three feet between them.
- Never pass a bus from behind.
- Take extra care to look out for all pedestrians in school zones, playgrounds, and residential areas.
