On a lighter note, the City of Roanoke Public Works has been honored by the Salt Institute for its environmental consciousness and effective management in its storage of winter road salt. This is the 7th time they have been honored by this, and the City of Roanoke Public Works is one of only two Virginia localities to have won the award! Congrats everyone at the City of Roanoke Public Works and please keep up the great work!

Ok, I think we're pretty well caught up, but if I missed anything at all, please make a comment and let people know! We want everyone to get Downtown in the coming weeks, so if you haven't yet, this is the best couple weeks to do it!
