Good news, Eagle Nest residents. The neighborhood has a new snow plowing policy! What’s new: First the first time in years, cul-de-sacs will be included for plowing along with the main streets when snow totals reach 3 inches or more. In the past, residents in the courts had to wait until higher accumulations before they got their streets cleared. The addition of 17 cul-de-sacs to the plowing contract will require more contractor time and expense, of course, so the courts will be approached a little differently. Plows will be instructed to make two passes through the courts, essentially plowing the equivalent of two lanes around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. Some snow may be pushed into the center (low enough so as not to impede visibility), with the remainder pushed into yards with the most open space or straight out through the main thoroughfares. The board also will review its salting protocols to ensure the exits and neighborhood bus stops are addressed more frequently. W

Do you want to know what your Eagle Nest board has been up to? Check out the December board meeting minutes, posted in the "Board minutes and notes" tab on the right side of this blog page. You'll find updates on the neighborhood directory, pool repairs, neighborhood communications, homeowner association dues and more. As always, residents are welcome to attend the board's monthly meetings, held the third Wednesday of every month at the Eagle Nest Clubhouse. The board reserves the first 15 minutes of every meeting for visiting residents to share their ideas, comments and complaints. Join us if you're thinking about running for the board -- several spots open up this summer -- or are just curious about what goes on. We'd like your feedback.

Sometimes, in the rush to making the neighbohood pickups, the city trash collector will accidentally spill a piece of garbage (or two) or leave trash containers strewn about in the street. Sure, he could be careful, but accidents happen. In an effort to keep our neighborhood clean and well-kept, do your neighbors a favor: Take a moment and pick up any loose, stray garbage and dispose of it properly. And if you see someone's garbage can rolling into the street or their can lids blowing about, recover them and return to the owner's property. Such random acts of kindness will help continue to keep our neighborhood one of the most respected and desirable places to live. Your Eagle Nest Board thanks you ....
