Early Voting Information
The Town of Highland has partnered with American Structurepoint to study roadway and intersection safety needs across our community as part of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary planning grant. This study will lead to the completion of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Your input is essential in shaping effective safety strategies. Together, we can identify behaviors and attitudes that impact road safety, identify mobility challenges, and develop community-supported improvements to enhance safety for all road users.
We want to hear from you! Please share your insights on the current road safety in Highland. You can participate in two ways:
Dedicated on Saturday, Highland's newest more-than-lifesize public art is garnering attention and accodades. Sponsored by the Highland Arts Council and Neighbors for Sustainability, the mural offers beauty - and a message.
Created by Highland Artist Patti Tobin Davis, the project is a tribute to native plants that are essential foods for birds, bees and butterflies. Native seeds were distributed at the unveiling in the hopes of expanding the population of native flowering plants in the community.
