 Don't throw things, and make sure you clean up your area after the parade |
If the road is blocked, emergency vehicles can't get through
Don't park, stop, or stand on a public roadway.  That's the law. And, there are good reasons behind it. If you are blocking the road while you are waiting to pick up or drop off your child from school, emergency personnel can not get through. The same applies to parking in a fire lane. If you are there, fire trucks can't get in. For more, go to http://tinyurl.com/mzkwsj. |

 Doo the right thing . . . pick up after your pet
Why should you pick up after your pet? Because pet waste affects water quality and your health. Stormwater runoff can pick up pet waste and wash it down storm drains, drainage ditches, and into creeks, river and lakes. It pollutes our water. For more about the consequences, as well as tips for dealing with pet waste, go to http://tinyurl.com/ny63b2, on the City of Burleson web site. |
