Springtime means time for cutting grass.
Redstone’s mowing contractor often must get near Arsenal roadways to cut and trim grass and vegetation. This situation requires the cooperation of vehicle operators, motorcyclists and bicyclists to use caution.

Full width mowing, or areas that require more than one pass to complete mowing, are mowed to make sure the strip nearest to the travel lane is mowed last and against the flow of traffic.
