Commission notes Work Zone Awareness Week and upcoming Relay for Life proclamation
Summary
An agency official reminded the commission that National Work Zone Awareness Week runs April 20–24 and urged caution in work zones; the chair also announced a Relay for Life proclamation to be read during the meeting.
The Lee County Commission heard two brief community notices. An agency official reminded the board that National Work Zone Awareness Week is April 20–24 and reviewed nationwide crash and fatality trends tied to work zones, urging drivers to be careful when driving through work areas.
A commissioner asked if the county highway department had experienced a serious injury; the official said county highway staff had not had a fatality to the speaker's knowledge, though contractors have experienced fatalities. The chair also announced that "Mister Brown will come to read the proclamation for Relay for Life."
Why it matters: public awareness campaigns accompany local road work and can affect public behavior and safety; the Relay for Life proclamation reflects the commission's recognition of civic events.
