Let's all be mindful of our decorations and where we place them. Those cute, hanging ghosts and glowing pumpkins might look like fun, but for our antlered pals, they can turn into unintended costumes. Let's keep our furry neighbors safe and stress-free during this spooky season!

Here are a few tips to be deer-conscious decorators:
▪ Height Matters: Hang decorations high enough to avoid being tangled in antlers.
▪ Avoid Dangly Bits: Skip decorations with long strings or pieces that could easily get caught.
▪ Choose Wisely: Opt for eco-friendly decorations made of natural materials if possible.

Thanks for being considerate and making our community a safe and happy place for all its inhabitants! Have a happy Halloween!

Roadwork THIS SATURDAY! 🚧 We’re making great progress with our Road Rehabilitation Capital Improvement Project! This Saturday, October 5th, our contractor will be pouring concrete for driveway approaches in various areas. Work kicks off at 8AM and will conclude by 5PM. Although we anticipate minimal noise, we want to keep you in the loop in case you notice activity. 🚜

Areas of work: segments of Locust, Willow, and Wood (Sinex to Junipero), Pearl (8th to Monterey), and Grand (Gibson to Junipero).

Saturday work isn’t typical, but this extra day gives us more time for the concrete to set properly before we come back to pave the roads. Thank you for your patience as we keep working hard to improve our city! 💪 Your support makes these upgrades possible.
