*By Ocean Park Association Santa Monica*

The board of directors of the Ocean Park Association wants to formally thank the Santa Monica Police Department and the officers of the motorcycle enforcement unit for their recent efforts to increase safety on Ocean Park Boulevard and Barnard Way.

We realize that traffic enforcement officers rarely receive thanks for their critical work, yet their efforts help keep our streets safe for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. And as a result of the recent deployments in our neighborhood, Ocean Park’s streets are safer for all of us.
