Association NEWS
Did You Know? Monthly friendly advice for our Reunion neighbors about covenants issues & guidelines
As the holidays are approaching and we may have more family and guests visiting, let’s be kind to our neighbors and try keeping cars out of the street when possible. As we all know our streets are fairly narrow and swinging around parked cars is at times difficult. * As a general rule parking on the streets within the Community is prohibited. Please ask cleaning people, service people, and guests to use your driveway if there is space.
* Temporary parking is allowed in the street IF the Owner’s driveway is full, not a nuisance to neighbors or impediment to traffic flow. * The vehicle must be parked WITH traffic. These are simple guidelines and if all of us think of neighbors using our streets, parking in your garage, driveway or bump-out is an easy thing to do. Thank you Reunion.
