The second weekend in April is the Annual April Alley Clean-Up. Since Bulk Trash pickup for Northwood Hills begins Monday, April 10, this is the perfect opportunity to tend to your alley and dispose of any brush or debris you clear out. Each homeowner is responsible for maintaining the area from their back property line to the center of the alley. That includes trimming bushes so they don't scrape cars or obstruct the alley. Trees that overhang the alley are required to be trimmed up 15 feet to allow clearance for garbage collection trucks. If trucks have to maneuver to avoid your branches, trash, or other debris, chances are they will cause damage to your alley in the process! Let's keep it clean.  

District 11 Council Member Schultz has asked us to organize a list of capital improvements that we want addressed in our neighborhood, in anticipation of the 2024 Bond election. Examples would be street reconstruction, alley reconstruction, flooding issues, parks, or any places in Northwood Hills you believe the entire city should invest in to improve. Those neighborhoods that organize will have a much stronger opportunity to be included in the election because it is often a matter of voices represented. IF YOU ARE AWARE OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ISSUES THAT THE CITY HAS FAILED TO REMEDY DUE TO SIZE/COST, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THEM TO 311 FIRST AND THEN SUBMIT THEM here.  We will compile the list for our neighborhood and present to our Council Member at the appropriate time this year.

Pick-up can happen between 9:30am and 12pm that day. If you have any Father's Day plans that weekend, why not take care of the dessert now? To sweeten the deal, they'll also refund back 15% of your order cost after all orders are placed. Use this link for ordering. You can't change the delivery location or date, as those are locked as part of the deal. You must get your orders in by June 2nd.

They discussed Bill's life prior to moving to NWH, the early history of our neighborhood and surrounding areas, some noteworthy stories about residents in the 1970s, and the appreciation he has for the neighborhood he has proudly called home for nearly 60 years. We hope you'll enjoy reading! You can find the article here.
