Neighborhood News
With the arrival of spring, so comes the clean-up of winter trash. Please take it upon yourselves to clean up your yard and surrounding areas, particularly the drainage ditches. In an effort to reduce the amount of trash blowing around the neighborhood, please make sure that the contents of your recycle bins are as secure as possible so that the wind doesn’t blow trash out in to the neighborhood.
Traffic violations continue to be a major problem in Walnut Ridge. Speeding, lack of stopping at signage and cars going around speed bumps INTO people’s yards is dangerous, illegal and damaging to homeowner’s lawns. As a reminder, Washtenaw County Sheriff can patrol the neighborhood and issue citations for these violations. Our traffic issues become more worrisome in the warmer months…children are outside playing and riding bikes and we have many families who regularly walk their dogs. Given this and the upcoming season of graduation parties, etc. please drive slowly paying particular attention to parked cars and people in the streets.
As we head in to summer, please make every effort possible to maintain your property to keep Walnut Ridge looking beautiful. This means regular lawn care and weeding. Also, please be mindful of the hours that you mow…Sunday evening at 8:00 is not a respectful time to mow your lawn. Let’s remain one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Ann Arbor!
Walnut Ridge Social Event: Please let a Board member know if you are interested in helping plan this year’s neighborhood social event/s. Without volunteers for this committee, our social events won’t continue to happen. Ice cream social? Block Party? Progressive? It’s up to you, so let’s make it happen!
We hope you and your families have a fantastic spring and summer.
Sincerely,
The Walnut Ridge Board of Directors

Downed street lamp:
The Walnut Ridge Board and Pasco Property Management is in the process of replacing and reinstalling the damaged street lamp and signs on the corner of Timber Hill and Gray Fox Court. The process is taking longer than originally anticipated, so please be patient.
Traffic:
Neighborhood safety is our primary concern, so please be mindful of the neighborhood speed limits and stop signs. Speeding and stop sign violations continue to be a major problem. Be aware that the Sheriff’s Department IS legally authorized to issue citations for violating our traffic rules.
New mailboxes:
We have finished replacing the neighborhood mailboxes to match the street lamps and signs. We hope you enjoy your sturdy new mailbox and our new look!
Neighborhood Social Event:
Please see flyer under “events” for more details. We hope to see lots of Walnut Ridge families
