Seminole Police Chief Kenneth Higdon announced today that city street department crews will be working tomorrow in the city painting city school crosswalks. Chief Higdon requested all city motorists in the city to be on the lookout for these crews and to obey any warning signs they have in their work area.

The crews will begin early in the morning and will be working most of the day, the chief said. He also said that drivers should be on the alert this week for students, who will be going to the high school to enroll.

Chief Higdon pointed out that even though the oneway streets around the Seminole Presbyterian Church have been made two-way streets there are still two streets which run by Roosevelt Central school which are one-way. These streets are Park and Highland. The police official said that drivers should obey these oneway marked streets.
