Street sweepers are dispatched daily to clean up debris along major arterials. Also, snow is not far away. Please remember that during snow and ice events, the department sanders and snow plows are dispatched to keep major arterials drivable. Visit our website at rentonwa.gov/snowroutes to view our snow route maps. It is imperative that motorists do not park or abandon their vehicles within any portion of the traffic lanes. Abandoned vehicles impair snow and ice removal and impact response of emergency vehicles. • The city is asking residents their thoughts on adding a bike sharing option through an online survey. The 10-question survey will help the city determine the level of interest and the concerns that need to be addressed before bike -sharing companies are allowed to operate. The survey can be accessed at rentonwa.gov/bikesharing. Join us on Thursday, November 8th from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. for the Unity Forum at Harambee Church. The theme this year is 'Wake up, Stand up, Speak up.' There will be an educational video, group reflection, a Q&A session, and thought -provoking discussion.
