🌇 Longer Days = More Foot Traffic

As daylight increases and temperatures improve, we’re seeing more pedestrians, joggers, cyclists, and families out in the neighborhood.

Real reminders:
• Drivers: Slow down in residential corridors and near parks
• Pedestrians: Use crosswalks and make eye contact before crossing
• Cyclists: Use lights at dusk — visibility drops faster than you think

Seasonal transitions change traffic patterns. Awareness keeps everyone moving safely.

PSA: Pedestrian Safety in the Central West End

Pedestrian activity is high throughout the Central West End, and safety requires constant awareness from everyone on the street!

Pedestrians should always use marked crosswalks and obey walk signals. Never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact before crossing whenever possible.

Even when you have the right of way, stay alert and watch for turning or distracted vehicles.

Drivers are reminded to slow down, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and remain especially cautious at intersections and during low-light hours.

If you observe dangerous driving or traffic concerns, report them to the Citizens’ Service Bureau. Call 911 in an emergency.

Staying alert saves lives.

PSA: Shorter Days, Extra Caution Needed

As we move into the season of short daylight hours, it gets dark earlier in the evening, often during peak commute and activity times. Reduced visibility can increase safety risks for pedestrians, drivers, and residents.

Please take a few extra precautions:
- Stay aware of your surroundings when walking, especially after dusk
- Use well-lit routes and avoid distractions like phones or headphones
- Lock vehicles and remove valuables before nightfall
- Report suspicious activity to the non-emergency line or 911 if urgent

A little added awareness goes a long way in keeping the Central West End safe.
