Earlier this week, our Street, Forestry, and Traffic Operations teams participated in a Safety Check Lane with our Transportation Operations Safety Committee. Before heading out to work on the streets, they made sure all safety devices—like fire extinguishers, first aid kits, warning triangles, and seat belts—were in place and ready to go in their vehicles and equipment. It was a great reminder to always stay mindful of safety on the job. Stay safe out there, Topeka! #SafetyFirst #CityOfTopeka
