Public Safety. Pedestrians and drivers of all motor vehicles, bicycles, scooters and skateboards too.

Midnight Sun Festival begins today!

There will be many people from out of town unfamiliar with our traffic regulations.

Please watch out for them and keep them safe.

Make certain our Finnish visitors return home to say wonderful things about us.

The annual weekend-long Midnight Sun Festival begins today in Bryant Park along the Intracoastal at 5:00.

Many visitors will be arriving by Tri-Rail with bicycles or using Palm Tran. Please keep your eyes out.

For more information about this annual event please see the blog post that follows this one.

Public Safety: Did you happen to see this news in The Palm Beach Post recently and headlined,

Delray vice mayor struck by car, breaks knee while walking to City Hall

Before we get to the news from Delray Beach also below is a bonus, a short introduction to Fundamental Erudition at the Midnight Sun Festival.

And if you happen to see an unattended plastic straw or one near a stormwater drain just pick it and throw it away or notify an official at the festival. As per Lisa Toy, the Sustainability and Recycling Coordinator at the PBC School District demonstrated, this is not rocket science, it’s basic science children can understand: “Only Rain Down the Stormwater Drain”.

Bonus. Introduction to Fundamental Erudition:
How to behave during Midnight Sun.

Again, it’s not rocket science, or even soil science. And the annual obligatory gripe, “Why aren’t there any PBSO deputies here today!” This is not even Basic Science 101. Deputies don’t always wear uniforms and we’ll leave it at that.

Now back to walkers and drivers today.

To and from Midnight Sun STAY ALERT!

In just one moment your day can turn badly as what happened in Delray two weeks ago.

An elected official in Delray was struck by a motor vehicle during the Delray Beach Open tennis tournament. This very unfortunate but completely avoidable ‘accident’ was reported by Post journalist Lulu Ramadan.

Everyone is encouraged to have fun and frivolity in our City of Lake Worth this weekend!
