In November, the Police Station Bond initiative reached nearly 64% of the votes. It did not meet the 66% supermajority that was required for the bond to pass. Now, the City of Rexburg and Rexburg Police Department have launched a community survey to gather the community's feedback on public safety facility needs. Take it here: https://www.rexburg.org/page/rpd-station-bond-survey

The survey is open now and closes on January 18th. Results will be presented to our City Council on January 21st.

The City of Rexburg is grateful to have been awarded a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation! This grant empowers communities to prevent serious traffic injuries and fatalities for everyone, regardless of age or ability. With it, we're crafting a Safety Action Plan to pinpoint roadway safety concerns, and we want YOUR input!

Rexburg’s Public Works Team is committed to adopting the USDOT’s Safe Systems Approach, which designs roads to accommodate for human errors. This goal also aligns with the national "Vision Zero" movement, which strives to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries.

Safety is a collective responsibility shared by drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, the City, and first responders. This approach emphasizes Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe People, and robust Post-Crash Care. Whether you walk, bike, drive, or use a wheelchair, we need YOUR insight!
We welcome your thoughts through our new Safe Streets for All Survey to tell us which changes you believe will best protect our community!

Take the Survey here: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/853f494812a743c4a78285068f354ea7

We're so excited for the Rexburg 4th of July parade to sprinkle some star-spangled cheer on our streets this week! A heads-up: if you start decorating City property—like parks, sidewalks, streets, or alleys—with things like blankets, chairs, or coolers before 6:00 pm on July 3rd, our City crews will turn it into a game of finders keeprs, collecting your goodies to stash away until you can retrie them after the holiday. Keeping it festive and fun is kind and courteous to all the parade goers, and as always, be safe. Keep little firecrackers (and big ones, too) out of the street at all times during the parade; that Tootsie Roll can wait! We also recommend bringing your sunscreen and water bottles to avoid getting overheated. Nobody likes a passed-out passerby. Once the confetti settles, head over to Porter Park for exciting activities and delicious food waiting for your arrival! The Party in the Park is sure to keep the spirit going all day long! We can't wait to celebrate this holiday with you! We have to give a special shout-out to the @Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce for dedicating their tireless efforts to making these two events happen. Their commitment to our community is truly commendable. We’re grateful for their dedication and can’t wait to see the results of their efforts come to life in just a few days!
