Sgt. Ryan Palmer, Boone Police Department talks about Public Safety reminders this time of year. Palmer passes along several things for the school year. He talks about staying safe for yourself and passengers with drop-off and pick-up at school. He emphasized following the rules in no parking areas because it’s for everyone’s safety. Palmer also noted that traffic will be picking up in the southern part of the city in the next couple of weeks with IMCA Super Nationals in town. A tip for those commuting in the morning and afternoon, if you usually come into town to South Story Street or South Linn, it might be easier during Super Nationals to use an alternate route.
