In an attempt to help with traffic safety the Oshkosh Police Department is implementing the following change on the corner of Bismarck Street and Eagle Street:
If you are going East on Bismarck you are required to take a right hand turn.
Police officers will be out to assist with this new change.
~ Please Slow Down in our School Zones ~
The corner of Bismarck and Eagle Streets can be especially dangerous for our students before and after school.
Please slow down and watch for pedestrians.
