Tips/advice:

Please remember winter driving tips even though we have not had much inclement weather as of yet. Allow yourself extra time to travel and keep your distance from the vehicles in front of you. Please remember to remove ALL snow/ice from your vehicle prior to driving to prevent it from flying off while your vehicle is in motion. This can cause an accident or injury and is also against the law. Please remember to also let your windshield completely defrost before driving so that your view is not obstructed. As always, beware of ice on bridges and especially on the brick streets in our town. If you can limit your travels or not go out at all on very inclement weather days that is greatly appreciated so that the roads can be treated properly and we can possibly prevent some accidents. If you must go out please use extreme caution on these days. Thank you.

Just a reminder...The juvenile curfew hours are as follows: Monday-Thursday curfew is at 11:00 PM. Friday-Saturday the curfew is at midnight. This is for our everyone under the age of 18. This is to help keep everyone safe. Do NOT give out personal information over the telephone.
