Hello Neighbors!
As the weather has finally turned warmer, it’s great to see so many people out and about in the community.
One definition of “community” is: a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals. We hope you’ll work with us toward our goal of making the Highland Park community safe and inviting for all.
When you're on the road as a driver, cyclist, or pedestrian, be alert and respectful of others. As a driver, there’s no need to speed or cut people off; be the person who lets other cars in, slows so pedestrians can cross, and gives bikes and scooters lots of space. As a pedestrian, pay attention to your surroundings, and don’t step into traffic if you’re going to force someone to slam on their breaks. On a bike or scooter? Stay on the road and off the sidewalk, and follow traffic laws. A little consideration on our roads will make everyone happier and safer.
And when you’re at the park, parklet or just walking in the ‘hood, leave the space as nice - or nicer! Be sure to take your trash and cigarette butts and dispose of them properly. Let’s make every day a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Stephanie Walsh, HPCC President
