The bike officers will patrol the bike path in areas around the schools. Fortunately, the 10 day weather forecast indicates that it's going to be partly sunny with a high of 54 degrees, thereby providing acceptable conditions for the bike patrol.

Both Assistant Fire Chief Klecan and the Fire Prevention Captain will be assigned a school. Our concern here is that the traffic backup that may r esutt from the left turns into the school yard primarily. Their assignment is to watch for traffic build-up arul plan for emergency ingress and egress if required. The Police Department has been in contact with the school crossing guards to advise them of the changes in traffic patterns. Guards have been advised to call the police with the 911 2
