Thank you, Shape Corporation!
Shape Corporation again provided time for their employees to assist Spring Lake Township. Last year the employees assisted with the removal of the old fencing at the Cemetery. This year the employees re-stained the picnic shelters at Rycenga Park and also re-stained picnic tables. The work that was done benefits our community greatly. We appreciate that Shape Corporation and their employees give back to the community!

Bike Safety
As students head back to school and the weather cools down, more bikes are expected to be on the roadways and bike paths. Everyone needs to be careful and aware.
Drivers - watch for bikes on the bikepaths crossing driveways. Remember that bikes have the right to share the road and should be treated courteously.
Bikers - watch for cars in driveways and roadways. Remember that while you are allowed to share the road, you are also subject to the rules of the road.
With cooperation, everyone will arrive safely at their destination. |
