On Aug. 17, a mountain lion ambled past security cameras near the area between West Street and Cernon Street near Main Street at about 1:50 a.m. The incident, which went unnoticed by the resident until recently, highlights concerns about wildlife in urban settings. City officials are urging residents to stay informed and prepared, adjusting their habits to ensure safety in the wake of such wildlife encounters.
Citizens are asked to keep any pets or children indoors and encouraged to keep their food garbage secured so as to avoid attracting the predator. The police suggest that if a mountain lion is spotted, residents should remain calm, making loud noises to deter the animal while ensuring they have an escape route. This advisory emphasizes the need for a coordinated community response in managing interactions with wildlife.
