Rock the Future of Our Parks Take the Parks Master Plan Survey Online The City of Weston Parks and Recreation Department is developing a Master Plan for parks and facilities amenities, programs, events, and services which will guide improvement plans for the next ten years.

It only takes a few minutes to make a big impact on shaping the future of Weston's parks. The survey questions are designed to help determine the types of improvements residents want.

Keep Your Eyes on the Road. U Drive. U Text. U Pay. We have all seen it -- distracted drivers paying more attention to their phones than the road. In fact, you may have been tempted to do so yourself from time- to-time.
In 2020, 3,142 lives were lost in crashes involving distracted drivers – and that was during a time when much less traffic was out and about due to the pandemic. The data is from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which recently launched a new campaign to target districted drivers. The U Drive. U Text. U Pay. campaign reminds drivers of the deadly dangers and legal consequences of using your mobile device to text, send email, etc. Mobile devices are considered one of the most dangerous type of distracted driving because it combines visual, manual, and cognitive distraction - behind the wheel. Click below to learn more and take the pledge to drive safe. |
