A REMINDER FROM CHIEF DONNIE - SCHOOL STARTS NEXT WEEK

Be sure to check your speed as you come into downtown Elkmont. Slow down or your wallet could pay the price.   There is too much going on in the middle of town these days to allow us to speed through Elkmont.  Be sure to watch for tractors, lawnmowers, walkers, horses, critters, runners, bikers, cheese lovers as well as "what was that?".  

 

 These can all be found on or crossing the road.

 

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.
 
OUR SMALL TOWN HAS BECOME EVEN MORE CONGESTIVE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.  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......
