The City hires crossing guards and substitute crossing guards to help children cross some of the busier streets before and after school. Applications are currently being accepted from people willing to work one to two hours per day, which provides a tremendous service to the community.

Wind Energy program has been successful since it began in October 1999. Many Longmont residents recognize the advantages of getting electricity from wind energy and have joined the program. Beginning this month, additional LPC wind energy is available for residents and businesses to purchase, as the newest wind turbine goes in to operation. While the turbines, located near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, provide a small portion of the overall electricity Longmont uses, the environmental benefits are significant. Statistics show that each penny spent on electricity from wind energy saves a pound of CO 2 .
