Be Careful out There! Traffic around Sequoia
|
Reminder: be extra careful driving into/out of the parking garage and around the Sequoia complex since there are so many folks of all ages and abilities: pedestrians, cyclists, and people taking the bus. We appreciate you being especially mindful when driving—particularly near crosswalks and when entering or exiting the garage—to ensure the safety of all pedestrians at DHS and nearby.
The county has received complaints about "county vehicles" being driven recklessly at the 2nd St. S. and S. Wayne St. stop sign in particular. Stay safe out there.
