Let There Be (Bike) Lights

Posted August 26th 2024

Throughout the month of July, the Avalon Police Department provided free bike lights to members of the Avalon community. The program, which was held in collaboration with the Avalon Yacht Club, Avalon Hardware, and the Avalon Home & Land Owners Association (AHLOA), targeted the problem of individuals riding throughout the borough at night without bike lights.

The bike light initiative was generated by a donation from the Avalon Yacht Club Women’s Auxiliary. One of its members, Lisa Booth, joined Police Chief Jeffrey Christopher to purchase a number of bike lights from Avalon Hardware. In addition to the purchased lights, AHLOA also donated some more bike lights, and the police department received an anonymous donation of 200 lights. The final amount totaled 350 lights.

“We started the program in July 2024, and quickly gave out all of our lights already,” Christopher said. “We plan to seek out additional donors and continue the program next year.”

If you are interested in contributing to the program, more information can be found at avalonpolice.org.
