Martha Stewart Doesn’t Live Here... ...which means we have to do our own cleaning. For those of you new to Villebois (or those who don’t know), we have taken on 110th Avenue as an Adopt-a-Road project. We get together a few times a year to clear trash from this street that runs between Polygon Homes and the new elementary school.

It usually takes an hour — giving us a chance to bond with neighbors and discover the weird junk people toss out their car windows. Our next cleanup is at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 19. To join us, call Jeanne Lapp at 503.781.5944 or email her at jelapp@comcast.net by May 16.

Community Reminders:

• Please slow down! The posted speed limit on Costa and Barber streets is 30 MPH. It has been reported that many drivers are regularly exceeding the speed limit. Also, alleyways are not intended for through traffic. Please remember that there are many children, walkers, cyclists, joggers and pets out enjoying the open spaces. Please be sure to obey the speed limit for the safety of all residents.

• Alleys. Please do not use the alleys as a through access. This creates a safety hazard to residents and causes undue wear and tear on the alleys. These alleys are private property and maintenance is paid for by the residents whose lots border these alleys. Also, no alley parking is allowed at any time other than for immediate loading and unloading. Otherwise vehicles must be parked in the garage or in the city streets.

Planning to do any exterior modifications? Please remember to submit an Architectural Application prior to commencing any work. You can always find a link to this form on the Documents page. If you have any questions, Please contact your Community Manager, Lorie Jaraba.

Keep trash cans and recycle bins out of view. Please remember that trash and recycle containers should only be placed out on the regularly scheduled trash pick-up day.

Parking rules:

• Adhere to “No Parking” signs. Remember that there is no parking allowed in the alleys. Parking is not permitted where signs are posted, and parking in excess of 24 hours of boats, trailers, motorcycles, mobile homes, campers or other RV equipment, is not allowed on any part of the Property or on public streets within the community.

• Parking and garages. Remember that garages are to be used for vehicle parking, and only secondarily for storage. As more homeowners move into the community, it is essential that everyone respect their neighbors, and park only in approved areas. Garage doors must be open only for entering or exiting. For homes with rear-entrance garages, remember: there is no parking allowed in the alleyways.
