10/18/13 - Officer Buckle Has Spoken!

For those of you who don't know, the book Officer Buckle and Gloria, won the Caldecott Award in 1996, and in 2007 was named one of the "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children".  Officer Buckle has kindly come to Lemme to give us a few of his famous "Safety Tips".

Safety Tip #237 - Do Not Park or Stop in the Fire/Bus Lanes between the times of 8:15-8:40 and 2:45-3:10.

99% of you are doing this right!   There have been some not so safe driving out there the past few weeks.   The buses have been at times unable to get in to the bus lanes.  Soon we will be enforcing that area during the time listed.  Please think about where, when, and how you will be driving in the lot during those times!

Other drop-off and pick-up possibilities are: Washington Street to the south (that can get busy at those times!), Amhurst to the the east, and Hastings to the north.

Safety Tip #238 - Do Not Leave your vehicle in the fire lane at ANY time!

That is straight from the ICPD.  You can be in your vehicle in a fire lane, but you can't leave it (park it) in a fire lane.  We are allowed to make that exception of NO vehicles in the fire lane during those high traffic times.

Safety Tip #239 - Do Not Stand on a Chair with Wheels!

Thanks to Officer Buckle for his wise words of wisdom!
