Summer Etiquette & Reminders

With summer coming we thought this would be a good time to remind residents, owners, and neighbors about a few safety items.

• The corner of Pinewood and Woodbridge (where the mailboxes are) is a dangerous place for kids. Cars drive through that intersection - often at high speed - and are not likely to see small children playing in the road or riding their bikes there. If you are a motorist, please slow down when you get into Woodbridge and keep your eyes open for the neighborhood children who may be playing.

• Parents, please make sure that your kids are aware of the dangers of playing in the roads and parking lots of Woodbridge and Pine Meadows. Make sure that kids aren't congregating near the mailboxes or around that corner. Encourage them to play ball in the grassy areas rather the parking lots and the streets (we have had complaints about people bouncing balls against the houses and the cars...please don't do this, and don't let your children do it either).

• Grilling time is here. Before you fire up that grill, please be sure to move it away from the house. Extreme heat from the grill can warp and/or melt the siding and grease can discolor it. Flare-ups close to the house can lead to fires and catastrophic loss or injury.

With your help and diligence we can all have a safe and fun summer.
