DINA 'Safer Streets' campaign

The Daniel Island Neighborhood Association has launched a new 12-week campaign to educate the community about issues impacting safety. Each week, DINA will share a different safety tip on a specific topic, such as yielding to pedestrians and crime prevention.

According to DINA President Marie Delcioppo, the campaign is intended to “to build camaraderie and goodwill amongst residents, to get residents to hold themselves accountable, all of which, in turn, will help foster a safer community.”

The second subject to be targeted by DINA in the “Safer Streets” campaign is golf cart safety. See below for this week’s tip!
