Montgomery targets hazards to pedestrians
Montgomery County officials pressed drivers and pedestrians to improve safety after two elderly women were killed while crossing. Despite a drop from 17 to 11 pedestrian fatalities year to date, officials touted red light camera enforcement, 76 000 tickets, and ongoing curb your reckless driving appeals. A Blue Ribbon Panel report and redesigned intersections were planned as part of a broader effort to reach zero fatalities.

Jailed moms in Montgomery read aloud to kids on audiotape
Seven incarcerated women at Montgomery County Detention Center will record children's books on audiotape to send a message of love to their kids. The Storybook Project lets mothers read favorites like Dr Seuss and include inscriptions, maintaining positive contact and connection for the child. Mothers are in good standing with their children, with no history of abuse or neglect, and participate with volunteers. The program, funded by the Commission for Women and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, aims to lessen the impact of incarceration on families and offers community support.
