CHIEF DONNIE SAYS.....

A TRAFFIC STUDY BY ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION LAST YEAR ADVISED THAT 3000 VEHICLES TRAVEL THROUGH THE TOWN OF ELKMONT PER DAY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. 

THIS YEAR WITH 3 NEW BUSINESSES UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IT MAKES OUR SMALL TOWN EVEN MORE CONGESTIVE .  OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, I HAVE MADE AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN IN THE TOWN AREA BY PRESENCE AND WARNINGS. STARTING IN AUGUST, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, COUNTY AND STATE WILL BE RUNNING RADAR AND ISSUING CITATIONS......SLOW DOWN IN TOWN......
