The Buckingham Companies collect our waste and recycled items. Waste collection day is Wednesday every week. Recycled items are collected (from the yellow-lid bins) every other Wednesday on the highlighted weeks here).

Please roll out the waste bins AFTER 6pm on Tuesday before collection. To ease the access for the collection trucks, please place the bins at least 3 feet away from the building, and at least 3 feet apart from each other.    

 

Walk on the LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD! 

The quote from this website speaks for itself:

Seems like it couldn't make much difference, but one Finnish study of pedestrian-car accidents between 2006 and 2010 would argue otherwise. Simply walking against traffic instead of with it cut the risk of getting hit by a car by an average of 77 percent, according to the findings.

As for Minnesota Law: 2020 Minnesota Statutes TRANSPORTATION Chapter 169 Section 169.21

169.21 PEDESTRIAN.
...
Subd. 5. Walk on left side of roadway. Pedestrians when walking or moving in a wheelchair along a roadway shall, when practicable, walk or move on the left side of the roadway or its shoulder giving way to oncoming traffic. Where sidewalks are provided and are accessible and usable it shall be unlawful for any pedestrian to walk or move in a wheelchair along and upon an adjacent roadway.

• Architecture Control Committee: Maintaining your home requires repairs and replacement of various parts of the unit’s exterior.  No structure, building, addition, deck, patio, fence, wall, enclosure, window, exterior door, or any other exterior replacements, improvements, or alterations (visible from the exterior of the unit) are to be started until an application (explained at Application Forms link below) has been submitted and approved by the Architecture Control Committee (and the Board, depending upon the application).
   
• Grounds Committee Landscaping in front of the unit is not covered with the ACC standards.

This falls under the Grounds Committee.  All information pertaining to landscaping may be requested from the Grounds Committee, and approval of planting and any modifications to the landscaping must be approved by Grounds Committee.
