Please make sure you leave enough room for cars and emergency vehicles to pass safely through the streets.  

Drivers should be mindful of children running through the neighborhoods.  

Parents should make sure their child, and all family members can be seen by those driving vehicles.  

They should also wear something reflective so as to improve your visibility.

The candy holder will also use hand sanitizer before each time they put candy in the bag or they will wear gloves.

Games will be sanitized between each user. There will also be multiple sets of chairs. Each time a chair is pulled, it will be wiped down and cleaned for the next group of children.

All events will be outside and distanced at least six feet apart. Markers will be mapped out in the parking lot.

Face masks will be required during this event. Anyone that does not follow the guidelines will be politely asked to leave and will not be allowed to participate in the event.

Village to consider pilot program to install traffic cameras

October 15, 2020 by Tim Fleischer

Village of Salado aldermen will discuss at their 6:30 Oct. 15 meeting a proposed pilot program for the installation of five fixed license plate reader cameras to be placed at key entry and exit points.

The cameras would provide officers with data on vehicles that can be useful when investigating criminal activity that may occur in the Village, according to the agenda packet on the proposal.

The proposed system can identify a vehicle’s license plate, along with the vehicle’s make, type and color and the time the vehicle passed in front of the camera.

All-abilities playground could be built in Salado’s Pace Park

October 15, 2020 by Tim Fleischer

The Village of Salado will conduct a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 15 regarding the development of an all-abilities playground adjacent to the pavilion at Pace Park. The all abilities playground would replace the current playground in the Park.

The Village is seeking a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to help fund develpment of the new playground. Because a significant part of Pace Park is in the flood plain, TPWD requires a public hearing on the project. None of the proposed playground would be constructed in flood plain.
