It\u2019s a simple visual gesture, but charged with meaning: a public thank\u2011you to officers who walk into danger so others don\u2019t have to. Mayor Rick Sheehan knows his coastal town depends on them to balance the fragile peace between retirees seeking calm and teenagers chasing a wild weekend, and the line is a daily reminder that order doesn\u2019t maintain itself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>For many residents, the blue stripe is both tribute and reassurance. In an era when law enforcement is often at the center of controversy, this small, steady mark on the asphalt says, \u201cWe see you.
