City staff recently observed some students biking through the intersection at Aughinbaugh and Limerick in a way that may be less predictable for drivers. Since Aughinbaugh and Kofman Parkway is now an all-way stop, families are encouraged to have students use the recommended route shown below for improved visibility and safety.

Please remind your kids of safe practices and help spread the word. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe.
