Berkeley Heights is continuing its Slow Down in Our Town campaign, moving to Emerson Lane—and you can join in! The initiative involves placing signs in lawns along Emerson Lane for two weeks and stickers on recycling bins that will remain visible as a reminder to drivers every time you put your bins out for pickup.

The signs are then rotated to other high-visibility and high-traffic areas in town to make drivers there aware of the town's commitment to road safety and so that drivers don't get overly used to seeing them on Emerson. The signs eventually get rotated back to key roadways as needed.

If you live on Emerson Lane or on the corner of one of the side streets, you can pick up lawn signs and bin stickers at 344 Emerson Lane between April 17 and April 22.

• Take two signs and place them with one facing each direction on the road. If you have a larger lot or corner lot, you can take two additional signs.

• Take 1 to 2 stickers per recycling bin and place them on sides visible to the street. Only place them on bins you own. Do not place them on any bins you lease from your trash pickup company.

Return the signs to the same location between May 2 and May 4 for the town to distribute to the next location.

Please join to help Berkeley Heights spread the word about road safety!

If you live in a different area that and want the signs placed there, you can email me at dnigrobh@gmail.com.

Among the Township's upcoming sign locations are:

• Briarwood Drive East and West and other roads leading to Woodruff School and/or used as cut-throughs. We are looking for volunteers to be a distribution point for the signs/stickers and to help inform neighbors of the campaign.
• The roads around Governor Livingston High School. We have a distribution point; we could use additional volunteers to spread the word.
• Mountain, Plainfield, Snyder and Springfield Avenues: We're also seeking volunteers for distribution and notification.

Thank you for all your support!
