🚨INCIDENT REPORT🚨

At approximately 0830 hours, on National Donut Day, CSFD Fire Chiefs observed CSPD Police Chiefs arriving at a scheduled meeting without donuts.

Based on previous experience, officials determined the likelihood of a productive meeting was rapidly declining.

Immediate action was taken, and Fire Chiefs deployed a dozen donuts to the scene to stabilize conditions and prevent a morale-related emergency.

Outcome:
✅Donuts successfully delivered
✅Police Chiefs regained focus
✅Meeting survived the first agenda item

Status: Resolved

Happy National Donut Day from your Fire Department, always ready to respond when our law enforcement partners are in need. 🍩🚓🚒

Safer streets start with smart solutions.

Now through August, the City of Colorado Springs will install 34 temporary safety demonstration projects across the City.

These include:
🔹 Traffic circles
🔹 Speed tables
🔹 Speed feedback signs
🔹 Flashing school zone signs
🔹 Protected bike lanes

These projects are part of Safe Streets COS and will help the City evaluate which improvements work best before considering permanent installation. Learn more at ColoradoSprings.gov/SafeStreetsCOS.

Colorado Ave is where our community comes together – and we’re making improvements!

Road striping begins in early June to bring these changes to life, and your feedback on how it works matters.
