Maintaining Our Streets
Funded entirely by member dues, the Association organizes annual road maintenance to prolong the life of the roadways that all homeowners in the Association are responsible to maintain.
This maintenance primarily involves application of liquefied asphalt sealing of the cracks arising from the annual freeze/thaw cycle and, in limited areas, the removal by jackhammer of deteriorated or sunken areas and installation of new asphalt patches.
This work significantly extends the life of our streets, saving each homeowner money in the long term by reducing the frequency of total road surface replacement, which is very costly.
Keeping the roads in our neighborhood in good condition also saves wear and tear on our vehicles as we enter and exit the neighborhood. It benefits our property values and makes the area a more pleasant place to live in. Even if your street hasn't been patched or sealed recently, your household benefits from this work.
The Association also organizes infrequent replacements of road surface. This was last performed in 2000, at considerable expense, and requires support of two-thirds of households on a street-by-street basis. Payment of annual dues helps to forestall this undertaking.

Upcoming Road Work
Update, October 18, 2021
Beginning later this week or next week, depending on weather, City Sealcoating will be carrying out crack sealing on many of the roads in the Association. Crack sealing is an important and cost effective way to extend road surface lifetime by preventing water intrusion that leads to further damage from freezing in the wintertime.
The planned work is for application of two pallets of crack sealing rubber, expected to cover nearly 20,000 linear feet of cracks. The specific areas covered vary from year to year, but this work should occur on most of the roads in the Association. The process involves simply blowing debris from the cracks and then filling with a hot rubber material that hardens quickly.
If you are home and aware that the work is happening, it would be helpful if you are able to move parked cars from the road. Otherwise the work will simply proceed around parked cars.
