Testing a New Way for Residents to Access BHA Documents

BHA is testing a way to provide access to various information items that residents need. Right now, the information is accessible by going through the menu displayed on the Birnamwood website (birnamwood.org). This can sometimes be frustrating.

As an alternative, the documents in question were placed in one repository (collection). The repository uses Google Drive. The documents are presented as separate files. Clicking on the desired file name will display it's content on your computer or smartphone screen.

To access the documents in the collection, please click here.

If you experience problems accessing the files, please let Mike Berger (BHA President) know what the trouble was. The intent is to make this tool better for everyone!

Newly Revised POOL Rules and Regulations - PLEASE REVIEW

Birnamwood Homes Exterior Paint

Please be careful to use the formulation that is specified in the chart here. Other formulations may look similar (in the store) but will not match the specifications, and will cause you to have to redo work, expense and hassle.

Recycling and Waste Collection

The Buckingham Companies Service collects waste and recycled items on Wednesday of each week.

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.

HOLIDAYS SCHEDULE In 2022, Buckingham will delay the collection by ONE DAY for these holidays:

Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 30, 2022, and the collection will take place on the following Thursday

4th of July falls on Monday, July 4, 2022, and the collection will take place on the following Thursday

Labor Day falls on Monday, September 5, 2022, and the collection will take place on the following Thursday

Walk Safely On The LEFT SIDE of the Road

Walk on the LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD!

It is the law in Minnesota, and walking on the LEFT side of the road - FACING THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC - is just SAFER!

The quote from this website speaks for itself: "... 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."

2020 Minnesota Statutes TRANSPORTATION Chapter 169 Section 169.21 states:

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.
