Road Improvement Project
2020
Drainage Improvements - Culvert replacement was the focus of the work this
week, and the contractor is wrapping up the tree clearing at the Banbury outlet
today. Please pardon the mud and dust - roads are swept at the end of
each day. Ditch regrading will commence on Kenton next week followed by
Cranbrook later in the week. The contractor will be grading from the
downstream (low) end to the upstream end, and will follow with stabilization
measures (seed and blanket) shortly thereafter.
2020
Road Improvements Project - Drainage work will begin on Morgan Court late next
week. We are still several weeks out from the start of pulverization and
larger scale paving work. The contractor is targeting mid-June to start,
and we will share more precise dates as the work nears.

SWALCO Update: Residential Waste Collection Services
The waste industry is
indicating it is operating at nearly full capacity and is still able to provide
regular collection for garbage and recyclables. One service that has
been impacted throughout Lake County is the collection of bulky items or large
items left outside of the garbage container, which will no longer be collected
unless the material is placed in a rigid container or plastic bag. The
waste industry has told us they made this decision based on the safety of its
drivers. For specific information on the status of bulky item collection
in your community please check the SWALCO Neighborhood Program Community Website (Green Oaks)
