The Public Works Department will be finishing installation of the signs the week of December 6-10.

The new parking changes have been delayed due to the storm, from the city:

In the last week, significant storm events have impacted staff workload in the City of Puyallup Public Works Department.  The Public Works staff most impacted by unexpected weather events are the same employees who perform our sign production and installation.  Regrettably, the initial December 1 timeline for installing “No Parking” zones will be pushed back due to the sanding, de-icing, ploughing, and storm clean up needed to protect public safety at this time.

As soon as we hear of a new start date for the updating parking changes we’ll let folks know.

As we are all too aware the days are darker and shorter, winter is coming. It is time to prepare. We will all be raking, trimming, weeding and cleaning house. Getting ready to snuggle in when the wind, rain and snow make their annual appearance. Moss was noted on many roofs this spring; in most cases it is still present. The white trim on some of our homes needs to be repainted, some of our shake siding has also lost its color.

Your HOA Board responded to complaints of lack of visibility as you leave the development at 7th St. S.E. Overgrown bushes were removed on the left side for better view of oncoming traffic. Reports of vagrants sleeping between bushes and the fence on the right side required replacement as well.

A reminder, dogs are not allowed off leash in the development. Your dog may be friendly to family and friends but protective when approached by others. We are working on providing “pooper scooper bags” in several locations. Our common areas provide a place for recreation for adults and children.

Recently all homeowners and residents of the Cottages and Estates of Bradley Park were invited to attend a meeting held by the City of Puyallup to discuss proposed parking changes in our neighborhood. The parking changes were prompted by renewed safety concerns. Our neighborhoods are becoming overflow parking for Bradley Lake Park users. Please see the mailed brochures regarding on street parking changes in our neighborhood as announced by the City of Puyallup. These restrictions will take place December 1st and limit on street parking to one side of the street according to the map on the brochure.

We have made great progress in collecting e-mail addresses to be used by our Block Watch (which is being reformed) and for general notifications. Please be assured of utmost confidentiality.

Thank you all for sharing your ideas, for making us aware of your concerns and for being good neighbors. We want everyone to be proud of our neighborhood.
