Safety tips while we are walking in Town:
While we are happy to see many residents using their time at home to take walks in the community we want to encourage our walkers to follow some safety rules.
- When walking it is best to walk with traffic, especially in the absence of sidewalks. This will assist drivers and pedestrians in adhering to social distancing protocols.
- Be mindful of vehicular and bicycle traffic while on mobile devices.
