Littering and Property Upkeep
Keep your property in good condition and free of trash, litter, weeds and leaves, and dismantled or inoperative vehicles. Curb appeal is important and can add to your home's value, as well as those of your neighbors.
Subdivision Traffic Rules
Remember, it is ticket-able offense to park a vehicle on the grass, the sidewalk, or on the opposite side of the street facing traffic. Also remember to come to a complete stop at intersections. An incomplete rolling stop is the same as running a stop sign and you could be cited. Please obey all local and state traffic regulations when traveling through your neighborhood.
Clean Up After Your Pet
Be a responsible pet owner and neighbor. Many residents use the sidewalks for walking and exercising. By taking a few minutes to clean up after your pet, you can make the subdivision a better place to stroll without having to avoid land mines. If your pet defecates on a lawn while you're out walking, please be considerate and bring along items to remove the waste.
Bulk Pickup Day
The next Junk Pickup Event by Republic Services for 2025 will be May 1st and September 25th. You must have an account with Republic Waste Services to participate.
