Body
P R O C L A M A T I O N
WHEREAS, many St. Charles Parish residents and visitors enjoy riding the highways and back roads on their motorcycles and riding through the many scenic areas our parish has to offer; and,
WHEREAS, along with that enjoyment comes the responsibility to operate motorcycles safely; and,
WHEREAS, Louisiana has many registered motorcycles and licensed drivers who have either a motorcycle endorsement or a motorcycle learner's permit; and,
WHEREAS, it is important that the citizens be aware of motorcycles on our roadways and recognize the importance of motorcycle safety and sharing of the roadways; and,
WHEREAS, the safe operation of a motorcycle is enhanced through a combination of rider training and experience, good judgment, a knowledge of traffic laws and licensing requirements; and,
WHEREAS, St. Charles Parish Government joins the Louisiana Governor, the Eagle Wings Motorcycle Association, the National Safety Council, and others, in declaring May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month; and,
WHEREAS, May is traditionally observed as a time to remind and encourage other motor vehicle operators to be cautious and observe motorcycles, especially during their seasonal return to our streets and highways.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, WE THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL AND THE PARISH PRESIDENT, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MAY 2023 AS
"MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS MONTH"
IN ST. CHARLES PARISH AND ENCOURAGE ALL MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATORS TO JOIN OUR EFFORTS TO KEEP OUR HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS SAFE.
