Persuasion is on its way

printer friendly version

By Liz Nyberg

Town Crier Finance Manager

Fall is here. The "drive the speed limit" campaign is now one month old. Are you remembering to slow down on city streets?

Some persuasion is on its way. The Los Altos City Council just approved the hiring of two new motorcycle officers to monitor traffic starting in January. Now is the time to practice driving slower, safer and more courteously.

Keep in mind that neighborhood streets are extensions of our yards and homes, not extensions of expressways and freeways. If you allow a few extra minutes for your trip then you can drive the speed limit, still be on time, and probably arrive less frazzled.

This friendly reminder is brought to you by the Year of the Good Neighbor Committee. Encourage your neighbors to drive the limit by setting a good example yourself.
