Tip of the Week | | While Village pick up of yard waste doesn't begin until the week of April 9, residents can still drop off materials at the yard waste site on Fairy Chasm Road at any time. While you're there, you can even pick up some mulch for your plant beds. |

It is now officially Spring! While the warm weather had us thinking Spring early this year, the calendar has made it official. So,  the next step is yard work!

Respect, Quiet, and Lawful
| | |
The Bayside Police Department would like to remind all users of Bayside streets to please be mindful and respectful when traveling throughout the community. 
Police have been monitoring crosswalks throughout the community, ticketing those who fail to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks. Residents may notice the emotionally intelligent signage that is placed strategically throughout the Village. These are to remind drivers that they need to monitor their speed, and pay attention to pedestrians.
Pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles all have their respective place on Bayside streets. Runners, walkers and cyclists should wear reflective clothing to aid in motorist vision, and vehicles are asked to please give room as you pass. When possible, we ask bikers to please ride single file on the narrower, interior roads, to help ease traffic congestion, and to ride quietly throughout our neighborhoods, taking into consideration those who live on and around the area.

Sustainable Bayside | | |
The Village was recently honored to learn they received two distinct awards for environmental sustainability - Tree City USA, and Bird City Wisconsin.
The Village's recognition for Tree City USA comes for the fourth consecutive year in a row! To achieve the designation, the Village must meet a set of specific standards related to urban tree management and practices.
The Village was also excited to learn it had been recognized for successfully renewing our status as a Bird City for 2012 at the Sustained Flight level. Bayside was originally recognized as one of the inaugural communities to receive the designation in 2011.
Residents and visitors will notice that both Tree City USA and Bird City Wisconsin designations as they enter the Village, with signage placed for both awards. |
| Be Safe - Hang Up | | |
Distracted driving is a dangerous epidemic on America's roadways. You see it every day: Drivers swerving in their lanes, stopping at green lights, running red ones, or narrowly missing a pedestrian because they have their eyes and minds on their phones instead of the road. Yet, people continue to assume that they can drive and text or talk at the same time.
In 2010 alone, over 3,000 people were killed in distracted driving crashes. The results are preventable accidents. And these aren't just statistics - they're parents, children, neighbors, and friends. The safest way to get from one place to another is to hang up and drive. Powering down your cell phone when you're behind the wheel can save lives - maybe even your own. Find out how you can help spread the word of safety. |
