Community Concerns
On our last post we said, we are committed to improving the community but we can’t do that alone. We have added things which have been damaged or have been complained about to the city and were forced to remove. These include the message board, which we had thoughts of bring it back, but it seems we have individuals are want to ensure we can’t have nice things and destroy them. We added those signs which informed the community of this website and had to remove them. Though we are working with the city on replacements. We have graffiti on…

Recently there have been theft of flowers from the entryway monuments on Acoma, tampering with the solar lights, and damages to community property including the message board and shed.

Many New Plants have been Planted
As stated previously, BrightView, our landscaping vendor, has been actively planting new plants in the common areas and along the streets. We are planting over 400 new plants as well as ensuring existing plants will be getting the water they need and any unused drip lines will be capped off. Later, in a few weeks, you will notice the granite (rocks) in the common areas also be replenished. Another post will be made at that time.
