IMPORTANT
OK... Here's the deal. If you are parking on the "wrong side of the street", or too close to a Yield Sign in the neighborhood, you will be ticketed. Parking Enforcement is issuing tickets for these infractions. They have been on the books for years, but not enforced as vigorously as today. Also if your tabs are expired, you will be cited, or towed, depending on how long since the last renewal. You have been warned! - Tim

Another shout of thanks goes to Dave Bender, who donated his time and skill in getting this thing securely mounted to the building! (it wasn't easy)

Our neighborhood Spring Clean-Up was a great success.
There was some disturbing news brought to our attention by the volunteers however.
The most common piece of trash/debris found on our streets and in our park was Cigarette butts
Did you know that....
There was some disturbing news brought to our attention by the volunteers however.
The most common piece of trash/debris found on our streets and in our park was Cigarette butts
Did you know that....
Cigarette butts are the most commonly discarded
piece of waste worldwide. It is estimated that 1.69 BILLION pounds of butts wind up as
toxic trash each year, creating an enormous environmental,
health, and economic burden.
Contrary to popular belief, cigarette butts are NOT biodegradable!
Cigarette butt waste is a huge environmental issue, with a
global impact -- it is both unsightly and unhealthy.
If you are a smoker, take note. If you know someone who is a smoker, pass this along.
