Traffic
Safety
Initiative
Ramsey County Safety began in November of 2008 with the mission of collaboratively creating safer roadways throughout Ramsey County by raising public awareness and enforcing all traffic regulations. All of the law enforcement agencies throughout Ramsey County (including Maplewood Police, Minnesota State Patrol, Mounds View Police, New Brighton Police, North St. Paul Police, Ramsey County Sheriff, Roseville Police, St. Anthony Police, St. Paul Police, and White Bear Lake Police)work together on selected roadways throughout Ramsey County providing high visibility traffic enforcement saturations in order to reduce traffic related deaths and injuries. On November
16, officers from the listed agencies worked a high visibility traffic enforcement saturation on Highway 61 from Wheelock County Road J. On November 26, a second high visibility traffic enforcement saturation was conducted on the Highway 36
Parkway up to corridor between in

It is shameful that the Press is also silent its' doors
on
these efforts. It is

Backyard composting is easy! A few inexpensive supplies are all you need to set up a compact pile in your awn backyard, t7r you could set up a backyard compact bin which provides a convenient place to get rid of weeds, leaves and other yard waste, as well as organic kitchen scraps.

By setting up a home composting system, you can reduce the amount of trash your household sends to incinerators ar landfills while producing a fertiliser for house ar garden plants. Backyard Composting 1orkshops about the environmental benefiits of
