Are You A Good Neighbor ?

Are you a good neighbor? Here are some tips to check up on...

A. This is a neighborhood. We must work together to keep it a positive and safe place to be. The quality of life in our neighborhood depends on mutual respect and concern. We must all uphold a community standard.


B. Remember that the speed limit on residential streets is 20 MPH. Please drive carefully, and be mindful of the many small children in our neighborhood.

C. How we feel about our neighborhood has a lot to do with how our neighborhood looks. Overgrown weeds, eroded yards, trash and junk anywhere and generally uncared for properties promote a negative image for our neighborhood. Rental owners, please make sure your tenats abide by the same rules as everyone else. Let us all do our part to make this a neighborhood we can be proud of.

D. Many of us have pets. If your pet spends time outside, please be sure to clean up after it, whether your yard or someone else's. Dogs should always be leashed, fenced or supervised. Animal Control should be called in the event of a loose animal.

E. Although we do not currently have a gang problem in our neighborhood, we need to be alert and act accordingly if we see suspicious activity or graffiti.

F. All of our children deserve the care and concern of all of us. They are our future. We need to take responsibility for all of them, to watch out for all of them, and to take the time to teach them how important our neighborhood is.

G. The only way to keep our neighborhood safe and secure is to keep our eyes open, report suspicious behavior, and know who our neighbors are. We cannot be afraid to get involved. It is the only way to maintain the good neighborhood we have.

H. Noise can be an intrusion. Excessive BARKING from dogs, music from any source, including car's and stereos, is too loud if it can be heard two houses away, if it can be heard inside another house with windows closed, or if it interrupts another's activities. Please use common sense and be especially aware after 8:00p.m. when many children are getting ready for bed.

I. Car horns are only to be used in emergencies. They are not for announcing your arrival or attracting attention. This is the law. Please refrain from using yours in non-emergencies, and ask your guests and visitors to do the same.

J. It's up to all of us to set a positive example in our neighborhood. Please be sure that language is not vulgar, violent or abusive. Remember that there are many small children in the area and speak accordingly.

Do You Know Your Neighbor?

If you dont know your neighbors... you should...here's why..
One of the most effective ways to reduce crime and create a safe neighborhood is to know your neighbors. Information about those living around you, such as their names, address, phone numbers, and the make of car they drive is a start and very helpful in bettering a neighborhood.

Knowing and USING the names of CHILDREN, KIDS AND YOUNG ADULTS living around you helps them to feel safer, holds them more accountable to preserving our neighborhood, connects them to the neighborhood and families and gives them a feeling of importance. Using their names will create a sense of RESPECT betwen you and them, and they will be more likely to ask for help when they need it.

Our neighborhood does not have a Neighborhood Watch program, so please take some time to get to know your neighbors!
