Slow Down for Safety

A hit-and-run incident in April left a landscaping crew member from the Issaquah Highlands Community Association with minor injuries. Thankfully, the individual is recovering, and authorities have identified the driver responsible for the incident. The IHCA employs trained professionals who perform vital maintenance tasks, including landscaping and street cleaning, often in close proximity to busy roadways. As traffic increases in the growing community, the need for safe driving practices becomes more urgent. Residents are called to exercise caution and show appreciation by respecting the space of workers on the job.

This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers faced by maintenance crews. A well-kept community relies on the dedication of these individuals, and their safety should be a priority for all drivers. Keeping safety at the forefront can help prevent further accidents in the future.
