Galbraith's has been contracted to remove the snow from our streets when the snow reaches 3 inches or more. Please move your vehicles from the street to your driveways so that the snowplow teams can easily clear the roads we pay them to plow!!

Leaf Pick Up
From the City of Fort Wayne:
Leaf Collection Pick Up Program will run from Nov. 3 to Dec. 19
North neighborhoods are scheduled for November 10 - 14 and December 8 - 12.
Do: Residents are asked to rake leaves to the curb or park strip in front of their home, but not in the street. Leaves should be in the pick-up area by Monday at 7 am on the collection week.
To help make leaf pick-up most effective for your neighborhood, please keep the following in mind:
Rake leaves to the park strip by 7 am on the first day of the week when crews will be in your area.
Don't:
Don't put leaves in your trash or recycling cart. This is against State of Indiana law. Don’t burn leaves. It's a violation of City Code and can result in a fine. Don't place leaves in the street. Don't place leaves in storm drains.
Parents should remind children not to play in leaf piles near the street for safety and to assist motorists. Weather conditions or the volume of leaves in a particular area may cause the planned schedule to change.
This list of pick-up locations will be updated daily by 3 pm.
Please be aware of the removal of the stop sign on Tamarack Dr. at Wheaton Dr.
CAUTION
Please be aware of the sidewalk work between the homes from Thorngate Cul-de-sac to Blum Dr. The sidewalk is still "under construction" and is very uneven!
REMEMBER - CURB APPEAL MATTERS!
As Fall approaches, so do falling leaves!! Please make sure to rake the leaves from your yards and sidewalks! If your landscape is overgrown, fall is a great time to pull weeds, trim or remove plants and make your property more appealing! We have a few homes for sale in the neighborhood and this is one way we can to help keep ALL property values up! Take a minute to read what Coldwell Banker has to say about Curb Appeal!
Did you know that keeping your home well-kept improves the market value of your property? Simple improvements include keeping your landscape trimmed, adding color by planting flowers. Slap a fresh coat of paint on the exterior for a fresh look. Keep your walkways and driveways in good shape! Some real estate experts suggest that enhancing curb appeal can increase a home’s value by up to 10%! Check out the attached website for more easy fix changes to increase your property value and help your neighbors property value at the same time!
