Trailwood Maintenance Association: Street Sweeping on Holidays

Introduction

The Trailwood Maintenance Association (TMA) is a homeowners association responsible for maintaining the common areas of the Trailwood community, including streets, sidewalks, and parks. As such, the TMA plays a vital role in keeping the community clean and safe.

One of the essential services provided by the TMA is street sweeping. Regular street sweeping helps to remove dirt, debris, and litter from the streets, reducing the risk of flooding and improving the overall appearance of the community. However, determining whether or not street sweeping occurs on holidays is often a concern for residents.

Street Sweeping Schedule

• Regular Street Sweeping: All streets in the Trailwood community are scheduled for regular street sweeping on a bi-weekly basis. The specific schedule for each street can be found on the TMA website or by contacting the TMA office.
• Holiday Sweeping: Historically, street sweeping did not occur on holidays. However, in light of the increasing volume of traffic and the potential impact on street cleanliness, the TMA has made the decision to adjust its holiday sweeping schedule.

Effective Strategies

To ensure the efficient and effective implementation of the holiday street sweeping schedule, the TMA has developed several effective strategies:

1. Communication: The TMA will provide ample notification to residents about the new holiday sweeping schedule through various channels, including the community website, email announcements, and social media.
2. Enforcement: The TMA will enforce the holiday sweeping schedule by issuing citations to vehicles parked in violation during designated sweeping times.
3. Collaboration: The TMA will collaborate with local law enforcement to monitor compliance and address any issues that may arise.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To avoid any inconvenience or penalties, residents are advised to be aware of the following common mistakes:

• Parking on sweeping days: Do not park your vehicle on the street during scheduled sweeping times.
• Moving vehicles: Do not move your vehicle to a different location on the street to avoid being ticketed.
• Ignoring signage: Pay attention to posted street sweeping signs and follow the instructions provided.

Call to Action

The TMA encourages all residents to cooperate with the new holiday street sweeping schedule. By keeping our streets clean, we create a more pleasant and safe environment for everyone in the community.
