Neighborhood Issues
1. Mowing/yard Cleanup Reminder: Please clean up your grass clippings after mowing. Bag them, or put them back on your lawn. Grass washed down the street results in dangerously slippery conditions, and in some cases, unhealthy clogging of the drainage ways to our Pond! If your yard stands out...try mowing it!!

2. Walking your dog? Leave anything behind? Please do YOUR duty, too!

3. Streets/Signage We are making slow progress with city officials concerning the following:
a. Condition of Weymouth Way between 2917 and 3024;
b. New street signs on the corners of Weymouth Court and Weymouth Way, pointing toward Weymouth Place;
c. Acquisition of ?¡?§Children at Play?¡?¨ signs; and
d. Process of petitioning for speed-limit variance and 15mph signs.

3..Support for NeighborWoods: A recent article in the Norman
Transcript indicated that NeighborWoods is soliciting donations
to help perpetuate their tree-planting program. Since Woodlake
Estates has been a beneficiary of this program, the Board of Dir-
ectors has approved a donation of $25 to this request. A quick
perusal of our neighborhood yards will reveal the beauty that
NeighborWoods has added. Our new trees are looking GOOD!
Thanks to all you attentive homeowners! Keep up the great work
in caring for these attractive additions to our community!
