Garret A. Morgan was a prolific Black inventor who created the traffic light. His traffic signal design included the crucial "warning" phase between "stop" and "go," significantly improving road safety. Thanks to his innovation, we arrive home safely every day! #BlackHistoryMonth

Now THAT'S a LOT of snow! Crews have been hauling excess snow out of downtown since Monday, one block at a time. This is the first time we've had to haul snow since 2008!
Thank you to the Franklin County Engineer’s Office for their partnership in moving this mountain of snow.

With historic snowfalls like these, residential roads may still be snow-covered, even after a plow has gone through. The goal is to make roads passable, not perfect. You won't drive the speed limit, but you will get to your destination safely.
