Our vigilance for pedestrian safety keeps our community moving forward, one safe step at a time. Our participation in Frogger is another reminder to the motoring public that we share the roads with pedestrians, bicyclists, and others. Our goal is not to issue traffic citations, rather we want everyone on Brown County roadways to be as safe as possible.
