Board Update: Please move your vehicles before storm hits, North Shadeland Alliance e-newsletter, status of downed streetlight


As you know, Indianapolis is expecting its first major snowstorm of the season beginning Wednesday night, Feb. 2, through Thursday, Feb. 3. To help ensure the safety of residents, the Board requests residents remove all vehicles from the roadways and courts so our plowing contractor can work quickly and efficiently.

Neither the Board nor its plowing contractor will be responsible for vehicles that are "plowed in" on streets because they weren’t moved. In addition, any vehicle that poses a safety hazard – particularly those on curves or at intersections – will be towed in the interest of public safety.

Please spread the word. If your neighbor routinely parks in the street, please help us and ask them to move their vehicle(s) for the sake of our community. We realize it may be a temporary inconvenience, but nobody likes having to navigate around dangerous snow mounds left by cars during deep-freeze months.

Also, please be patient. We will plow the neighborhood -- twice if needed -- but we have to time the work to the storm. For snow events as big as what is predicted, our contractor will let an accumulation build up before working our neighborhood. It may be hours into the snow before you'll see a plow.

Why? We get charged every time our contractor works the neighborhood. We simply can't afford to clear the roads at every two inches. In addition, we aren't our contractor's only customer, so we'll be in line for service like everyone else.

Lastly, please use extra caution driving through the neighborhood and allow for extra stopping time at intersections. The Board will order salt for slick spots, as needed.

Questions, compliments or concerns about our snow removal efforts? Contact Clubhouse Manager Kelly Dentler or Board President Scott Thien. The Board appreciates your patience and understanding. Stay safe!

OTHER NEWS ...

DAMAGED STREET LIGHT: Several residents have asked about the downed streetlight in the 7800 block of Teel Way. IPL is aware of the damage, but we are waiting on the responsible motorist’s insurance company to complete its claim before repairs can be completed. We appreciate your concern and will continue to push for replacement as soon as possible.

TRASH CARTS: A reminder to put your trash and recycling roll carts away after Tuesday collections (ideally in your garage or in the back of your home). It’s not just a courtesy to keep our neighborhood from looking trashy -- our Declarations of Restrictions (Section 5F) prohibit storing trash receptacles within view of the development. Thank you for your cooperation!

On behalf of the Board,
Scott Thien, President

Hello, Eagle Nesters! The Board hopes your spring is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe with all the cold, rainy weather of April that the Pool will be open in barely a month. In preparation for that, it’s time to share a few updates about the 2024 swim season: Nearly a dozen residents turn out to deep clean the Pool A huge thanks goes out to the volunteer team led by Bittern Lane residents John and Cindy Spicklemire for organizing a deep clean of Pool facility on Saturday, April 27. The team of 12 spent hours power washing the chairs to address years of sunblock stains and removing wall grime, while others pulled weeds, cleaned the tables and swept up debris. In return, the Board brought in Jimmy John’s sandwiches, chips and water to keep our cleaning crew fueled up. That was a small price to pay for what would have cost thousands of dollars in labor and time to hire a contractor to do the same work. Be sure to give these neighbors a hearty thanks for their cleanup efforts: J...

Memorial Day is coming – and that means Pool season is upon us! We have lots to tell about our opening plans, so here goes: Pool opening: Noon to 8 p.m., Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. Due to scheduling issues with our pool company, it was a scramble to get the facility power washed, cleaned and filled, so the water may be a little cold. Fingers crossed the rain holds off. Pool Party: Noon to 2 p.m. Memorial Day. Free hotdogs, chips, popsicles, lemonade, and beer for the adults. Weather: Given the rainy weather forecast for Monday, watch the blog and Facebook page for updates on postponements or closures. New Pool fobs: All residents in good standing can pick up their new Pool fobs from noon to 8 p.m. Monday. Board members will be set up on the concrete pad outside the gate. Be sure to bring your ID and lot number. Reminder: Only residents whose dues have been paid and cleared can obtain fobs. Want more fob info? Check your mailbox. This week, all residents were mailed a Q&A docum...
