Weeds on Parkways
A gentle reminder – Maintenance of the parkway area of sidewalks, that is the space in the sidewalk area where there is no concrete sidewalk or driveway paving, is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. Many parkway areas are covered with high weeds at this time of year, and contribute to the unkempt look that many residents complain about. If you have parkway space that is filled with weeds, please consider taking the time to cut them down. Your assistance is much appreciated.
