Community Bulletin Board in place

Rails to Trails at Broadway

Now located at the Rails to Trails and North Broadway (cross street is Lincoln) is a new Community Bulletin Board. This was graciously built, donated, and installed by a City staff member and the Gard family.

The kiosk / public bulletin board has been installed to provide a convenient location for people to post garage sale and other signs or advertisements, instead of on light, power, sign, and other public poles or in public right-of-ways.

Please limit the size of your signs or posters to perhaps letter sized, 8.5 x 11, paper in order to give everyone room to post signs. Please remove your signs once your event is over.

The Community Bulletin Board is an APPROVED LOCATION for posting signs and ads and will provide folks with a convenient "one stop shopping" place to find out about garage sales and other events in our area.

Thanks to the Gard Family and the City staff person for providing the kiosk and thank you to everyone who respectfully uses this method of posting.
