East Village Echo

Spring into Summer

by the East Village Board of Directors

Warmer weather means more time for East Village residents to enjoy their community with outside activities. While recreational events are a favorite way to fine-tune our bodies and stay healthy, it’s also a time to look at our yards and homes. Take a moment and see if your home needs any seasonal repairs or if your yard needs to be reseeded and plants tended.

Officers Elected

At the last board meeting, Kevin Linck was elected Board President, Aaron Shura Vice-President, and Jayant Shukla, Treasurer.

Residents in attendance shared their concerns about parking in the Village and asked the board for its support. Residents are reminded that trucks parked after 9 p.m. on East Village streets will be ticketed and towed if not moved.

Good Work, Residents!

In monthly maintenance inspections, board members have noticed the great work residents take to keep their property in top shape. Remember to dispose of trash in sealed containers and recyclables in county-provided containers.

As a reminder, there is no trash pickup on Mondays or Thursdays if those days are also holidays. Also, place trash or recycling containers on the roadside the evening before or morning of trash and recycling days. Leaving containers outside on a non-pickup day invites high winds to knock the containers over the longer they are exposed to the elements.

Staying Safe

As the school year ends, more children will be playing on the local playgrounds and running around and riding on East Village streets. We all should be mindful of how fast we drive on our streets to keep our kiddos safe. Alert:  If your child rides an e-bike, helmets are required up to age 18.

And congratulations to area high school and university students who have graduated from school. May you enjoy your time with family and friends as a new chapter begins in your life.

While East Village is considered quite safe, please be proactive if you see suspicious activity. You can call the police for non-emergencies at 301-279-8000. For emergencies, dial 911.
