🚸✨ Teamwork for a Safer New Bethlehem! ✨🚸
A HUGE thank you to the New Bethlehem Borough Public Works Department: Roger, Chris, and Josh, for painting the crosswalk lines on RT 28 / Broad Street this morning! 🎨🛣️
Special thanks to the RVMA crew: Mike, Nathan, and Rory, for assisting with traffic control 🚦, and to the New Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Company: Bruce Young, Matthew Green, and Mayor Gordon Barrows, for lending a hand. We’re also grateful to the Southern Clarion County Regional Police Department and Chief Bob Malnofsky for keeping everyone safe during this high-risk job 👮♂️💙.
Painting crosswalks on such a busy road is no small task, but this team came together to protect our children, youth, and community. These crosswalks were completed with our local daycares and school students in mind, ensuring they have a safe place to cross every day. 🏫❤️
New Bethlehem is blessed with dedicated workers and volunteers who care about our safety! 🌟
