Heads Up Cornelius
This safety initiative is focused on reducing pedestrian- and cyclist-related collisions. Throughout 2022, this campaign will educate residents on proper crosswalk, bike lane, and roadway safety, in conjunction with continuing Town efforts to improve local signage and infrastructure.
Close calls happen too often, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Our streets are there for all of us to get around; motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. When you change the way you think about your daily commute, you ensure that it isn’t you or someone you love on the other end of that close call.
Calling young artists
Heads Up Cornelius needs your help to design the next official campaign graphic.
All you need to do is print off this sheet and illustrate what roadway safety means to you. This can be safety when you’re driving, walking, or riding your bike.
Feel free to create your design with any tools you’d like. These can be crayons, markers, paint, glue, paper.
Then, kindly ask an adult to either email a picture of your finished creation to townofcornelius@cornelius.org or send it to our Facebook messages. They can also drop your design off at Town Hall.
Be sure to write your name at the top of the page and include a good contact phone number or email address.
