Hello. This is Mayor Mark Zinna with a Friday news update.

Friendly reminder that the intersection of Highwood Avenue and Jay Street now has four way stop signs. The first vehicle to arrive and make a complete stop has the right of way, followed by the vehicle farthest to the right if two cars arrive at the same time.

Remember to please curb and cleanup after the family dog when out walking. Everyone appreciates the courtesy.
