Spring is here and summer is not far behind. With the warmer weather naturally comes the desire to get out the summer toys. The Brown Deer Police Department would like to remind residents of the play vehicle and skateboarding ordinance. Village Ordinance VL1-10-2.02, "Play Vehicles not to be used on Roadway"
