Legislation not the answer for distracted driving I sit in the commissioners’ room and realize I need to get a message to someone at the office. I discreetly send a quick text; message delivered. I’m sitting at a banquet listening to some not-so-entertaining speaker while the NFL playoffs are on. My husband sweetly sends me texts so I stay updated on the scores.
Public input important in developing safe route plan Want to make the routes for our children safer in Basin? Want to have a say in how those routes will be made safer, including where sidewalks should go, where more lighting is needed or not needed, whether more bus stops are needed or if fewer bus stops are needed? Then come to Monday’s meeting with the Basin Town Council and the Safe Routes to School Committee. The meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at the Basin City Arts Center.
