Police Updates:

Pedestrian Safety

Wisconsin state law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians crossing the street at marked crosswalks and intersections without marked crosswalks. Drivers should never pass another vehicle that has stopped to allow a pedestrian or bicyclist to cross the street. Drivers must also yield to pedestrians walking on a sidewalk at alleys and driveways. Pedestrians must yield to vehicles when crossing the street where there is no intersection or crosswalk. Pedestrians should never step in front of a vehicle suddenly or when the vehicle does not have sufficient time and space to yield. Pedestrians should walk on the left side of the street if there are no sidewalks. Bicycles that are operated on the street must obey all traffic laws, the same as any other vehicle.

Library Updates:

Seed Library

The Seed Library at the Plymouth Public Library will be open soon. Use FREE, locally donated seeds from the library to grow your own vegetables and flowers. Then, let some go to seed and return some of the next generation seeds for others to borrow. The seed library is located at the library, 130 Division St., upstairs to the the right of the check-out desk (in the old card catalog drawers).
