CAPTAIN’S MESSAGE
This years Chinese New Year Parade was a success, and I hope everyone enjoyed their Lunar New Year celebrations.

The next big event in San Francisco is the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, on March 17th, 2018. Along with the parade, there are many planned events throughout the City on that weekend. Make sure if you’re making plans for that weekend, take into consideration road closures and possible events in the area.

With all the events in the City, and rain in the forecast, make sure to be careful when you drive. With an increase of pedestrians and vehicles, accidents are more likely to happen. Take an extra second to check for pedestrians and slow down to give yourself enough time to stop.

Richmond Station is doing its best to cut down traffic accidents within the district. Each month Richmond Station conducts eight traffic enforcement operations throughout the district. Officers saturate the areas of most concern (area of highest occurrence of accidents & areas of concern from the residents) to enforce various safety violations.

Have a safe weekend and try to stay dry!
