The installation of yellow bollards, short cement posts, began in the downtown area of Brooksville earlier this month. The bollards will replace the use of barricades used during special event road closures.
According to the city, “These bollards help to ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicle drivers alike. In addition to the safety, the bollards provided aesthetic benefits as a replacement to currently used barricades. They are easier to store and are easy to install and maintain providing a more cost-effective option for the City in the long term. The current barricades will continue to be used for road closures during construction, paving and re-paving and when crews are repairing city water lines etc., as well as for larger events that require mass road closures.”
