MANAGERS’ MESSAGE
We have observed children riding motorized bicycles in the community. We must insist that they wear helmets and observe the 10 mile per hour speed limit for their safety and the safety of the community.
While some residents do not water lawns due to the high water rates, it is necessary to kill weeds, such as dandelions, and keep the area neat.
Thank you,
Linda & Rich Fandrey
Community Managers of Columbia Heights
