They are the perfect size and much better for our environment. I have found cost efficient resources online and assume NWAM would easily find resources as well. Thank you for considering this alternative!

Our little neighbor kids keep getting into my mail box with no malice intended; I think they just can't remember which one is theirs. I get a fair amount of financial mail and don't want it being taken out of my box. Thanks. Has there ever been a consideration for locking mailboxes or can I install one of my own?

I am a Parks owner and have two raccoons that are climbing a ponderosa that is right next to my bedroom window and side patio and my dog is barking at them nearly every night. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can discourage them or actually get them to move on? I had a problem last year but didn't put out my small fountain this year because they would come for the water. They might be back because the pool (which is across the street from me) is now closed. Not sure why they are suddenly back and climbing the tree all night long. THANKS! Hi.

As stated in The Parks HOA Newsletter on August 13: The emergency access gates on Cultus Lake Drive and Todd Lake Court will not be opened during this project. This decision was made because the access roads are not designed for regular vehicle use. The access on Cultus Lake is not wide enough for vehicles to pass safely at the point of the gate. This access is road is also very close to existing homes. Please respect the decision to refrain from using this road. All living within our neighborhood as well as the Broken Top communities will be impacted by the project. Keep in mind this is a public city street. This is not a private road that we own or control. Although it is easy to call and voice frustration about this project, the contact information included in this update is should be used for safety concerns or specific questions. As more project information is available, updates will be made available via newsletter updates such as this. This includes project phase changes or timeline changes. Again, please use the contact information respectfully and remember the contractor is working to complete this project in the least amount of time possible. Email from Jeff England with Project Contact Information: Taylor Northwest is doing the work. They are fully aware of your concerns and, as always, will do their best to reasonably accommodate the needs of the neighborhood while maintaining a productive work schedule. John Bosch is the Project Manager for Taylor Northwest (541-480-0677 cell; 541-382-7887 office; jbosch@taylornw.com) John Umbarger will be the project superintendent on-site for Taylor Northwest (541-647-8165) Jackie Saul will be the City inspector on-site (541-419-2378) I can be reached at 541-693-2125; jengland@ci.bend.or.us.
