If you believe that the downtown crossing guards should should
wear a uniform, or at the very least, have a dress code this
season (and seasons to come...) please follow the link below
to the Mayor and Council pages and let your elected representatives
know.

These kids are on the front line and they are representing you.
I'm not advocating dressing them like French Generals with white
gloves and hundreds of brass buttons... maybe just a City issue
polo, pants, belt, and shoes/boots. I don't even care what color
they are... but they should be easily recognizable AND they should
look good. Issue them cargo shorts for hot days and rain gear
for wet days.
We're in the tourist business now. It's time to get out there
and pressure wash the rope railings and sidewalks, paint the
trim, remodel 40% of the jewelry stores, hang the planters, groom
the horses, clean the boats, shine all those orange barriers,
on and on... this year, let's take a little pride in our crossing
guards too.
