Please remember to exercise caution in work zones around the city. The City’s maintenance crews have reported that motorists are driving too fast around them as they are trying to do their job with keeping our streets repaired and cutting grass along the roadsides. Also, the Sheriff’s Department has been stationing radar patrols on Joor Rd in the 35 mph construction zone, and they have been issuing tickets for speeding.
