Addressing Traffic Safety Concerns at Freedom Park This Weekend

Some citizens have expressed their concerns with the possible heavy traffic on Berkley Road at Freedom Park on Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 11 & 12, with the Petition Signing.  No Polk City Police or Polk County Sheriff is scheduled, so we took it upon ourselves to make a call to the Polk County Sheriff Department and made them aware of possible increase in traffic in that area at that time.  They have responded by scheduling a patrol for the general area, so when he is not getting a call, he can drive by to make sure things are going smoothly.  If additional assistance is needed, he will be in close proximity to step in.  They also told us to call them if things really get out of hand and the crowd is much larger than anticipated, so they can have a heads up and keep on top of things.  They are very willing to help out.

So please take care, and hold your children by the hand when crossing Berkley Rd. to the park, in case of overflow traffic parking across the street from the park. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!
