🚧 A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR BISBEE: LAVENDER PIT PATH PROJECT BREAKS GROUND AUGUST 24! 🚲
After eight years of planning, partnerships, persistence, and community support, Bisbee is preparing to celebrate an exciting milestone — construction is officially coming to the Lavender Pit!
The community is invited to attend the Groundbreaking Ceremony on Monday, August 24, at 10:00 a.m. at the Lowell/Northern Erie Street entrance as Bisbee marks the beginning of construction on a project designed to create a safer connection for pedestrians and bicyclists.
This has been a long road. What began with conversations about the path in 2018 grew into a project involving federal funding, ADOT awards, partnerships, donors, volunteers, and countless people working behind the scenes to keep the vision moving forward despite rising costs and other challenges.
Now, the shovels are finally hitting the ground.
More than simply building a path, this project is about safety, connectivity and creating a stronger community where residents and visitors have another way to safely walk, ride and experience Bisbee.
The project also carries a deeply meaningful purpose. As organizers noted, a community member lost their life along this stretch of highway — a reminder of why creating safer connections matters.
📅 Monday, August 24, 2026
⏰ 10:00 a.m.
📍 Lowell — Northern Erie Street Entrance
Congratulations to the City of Bisbee, Bisbee Bikeways, ADOT, project partners, donors, volunteers and community members who helped carry this vision forward over the past eight years.
Eight years. One vision. Now, Bisbee builds. 🚲

MIDWEEK WEATHER: STORMS RETURN TO SOUTHERN ARIZONA ⛈️
COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — Keep an eye on the skies as we head through the middle of the week, with a pretty good chance for strong, scattered showers and thunderstorms today and tomorrow.
Storm activity could develop across the area, so residents should remain weather-aware, especially if spending time outdoors or traveling. As always during monsoon season, conditions can change quickly, and some locations may see stronger storms while others stay relatively dry.
Things are expected to dry out a bit heading toward the weekend, giving us a temporary break from the better storm chances.
🌡️ MIDWEEK OUTLOOK:
• Daytime highs: Mid 90s
• Overnight lows: Upper 60s to low 70s
• Today & Thursday: Good chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms
• Heading toward the weekend: Somewhat drier conditions expected
Stay weather-aware, and if you catch a storm rolling in, lightning in the distance, or another great Cochise County sky, share your photos with us!

FLOCK CAMERAS CREDITED WITH HELPING WILLCOX POLICE
WILLCOX, Ariz. — The Willcox Police Department is highlighting two recent cases where Flock Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras assisted officers, as debate continues over the use of the technology and privacy concerns surrounding it.
On August 5, Willcox Police received an Attempt to Locate for an elderly man suffering from dementia who was believed to be traveling toward Willcox. According to police, the man did not have a valid driver’s license and reportedly believed his family still lived in Oklahoma, although they had relocated to the Vail area.
Police Chief Dale Hadfield checked the city’s Flock system, which showed the man’s vehicle entering Willcox on South Haskell Avenue at approximately 3:18 p.m., with no indication it had left the city.
Hadfield later located the vehicle at the South Haskell Circle K. Police said the man was disoriented and experiencing significant symptoms of dementia. Officers coordinated with Cochise County Search and Rescue and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, and the man was safely returned home.
The technology was used again following the August 15 theft of a truck from a local motel. Police said a Flock camera captured the stolen vehicle traveling southbound on North Bisbee Avenue, with no additional sightings indicating it had left Willcox.
The following day, officers found the abandoned truck off East Patte Road. Evidence was collected before the vehicle was returned to its owner.
Chief Hadfield acknowledged that ALPR systems can be a “highly contested” piece of public safety equipment but said that when used properly and lawfully, they can help locate vulnerable individuals, recover stolen vehicles and assist investigations.
These incidents come as communities continue debating the balance between public safety and privacy surrounding automated license plate readers.
In these two cases, Willcox Police says the technology contributed to bringing a vulnerable elderly man home safely and recovering a stolen vehicle.
What do you think? Do examples like these change how you view Flock cameras in your community?
