๐Ÿšธ New Crosswalk Signs for Safer School Routes ๐Ÿšธ


Oxford News

You may have noticed a new sign on Highway 160 at Michigan Street! There are now several of these crosswalk signs around town to help keep children safe on their way to school.

Increased patrols in school zones have already helped slow traffic, but officers were still seeing drivers fail to stop for pedestrians. These new signs serve as an extra reminder for motorists to always watch for—and stop for—anyone in the crosswalk.

Our top priority is keeping students and parents safe as they head to and from school each day.

This morning our Utility Crew was hard at work—not just on Main Street, but under it too! A leaky valve under the Highway needed replacing, and with today’s cooler temps ๐ŸŒค๏ธ and no rain ๐ŸŒง๏ธ in sight, the crew took the perfect opportunity to get the job done.

The valve was several feet beneath the asphalt, so the crew hand-dug ๐Ÿชฃ๐Ÿ‘ท their way under the Highway to make the repair. Water service was only briefly interrupted for RCB Bank ๐Ÿฆ, so the rest of town stayed safe from any shut-off worries ๐Ÿ™Œ.

If you happen to drive by ๐Ÿš— and see our crew in action, be sure to give them a honk ๐Ÿ“ฃ and a wave ๐Ÿ‘‹ to show your support!
