It has been 25 years since the world stood still.

Today, we remember every life lost. We remember the countless families forever changed. We honor every first responder who ran toward danger, and the the thousands of unspoken heroes who stepped up in the face of this unimaginable tragedy. We remember the courage, compassion, and resilience of Americans in the following days.

🇺🇸 We still remember. We still honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

We’ve been notified by the County that starting in early September and into October, marked “Cyclomedia” vehicles will be photographing property exteriors throughout our county for the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office.

They will operate only from public streets and be in fully marked vehicles; image attached to this post.

Vehicles will display “Cyclomedia” logos, and workers will have photo identification plus a county authorization letter.

This is not police activity. Should you have any questions direct them to the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office.

This week, Officer Hare has been giving e-bike safety presentations to our high school students, reviewing both legal requirements and the importance of safely operating e-bikes.

Please...if you are the parent of a child with an E-bike, or a child who may someday want one, take 5 minutes to watch this video from the Ohio State Highway Patrol with your child.

E-bike accidents can result in serious injuries. Please talk with your children about e-bike safety, and make sure they know the rules before they ride.

Stay safe and ride smart!
