Dogwoods Trails Opening March 31
Dogwoods Trails Opening March 31
LAWN DEBRIS PICKUP Neighbors, Spring is just around the corner (actually it is already here in some of your yards!). Each year the City of Knoxville in order to support the Dogwood Arts Festival will pick up limbs and yard debris from the homes that border a Dogwood Trail. Many of the streets in our neighborhood are on the Lakemoor Hills Trail. You know this because there is a fading pink dashed line painted on the street. So if your house is located on the Dogwood Trail you can take advantage of this once a year pickup.
Please drag your limbs and yard debris adjacent to the asphalt on your property. They do not pick up debris from empty lots. We have not received a schedule yet for the pickup, but you should begin moving those limbs now. We expect that they will pick up sometime during the week of March 25 as the trails open Easter weekend.
BOWS The lovely pink and green mailbox bows will be available later this month at the Lakemoor Hills Garden Club meeting (March 15) LHHA homeowners meeting (March 20), and at the Neighborhood Cleanup Day (March 24). The bows will be $5. All proceeds will go towards enhancing the public areas in our neighborhood. You can decorate your mailbox whether you are on the Dogwood Trail or not, as we have many visitors to our lovely neighborhood during the month that the trails are open.
Thank you for helping make our neighborhood a place of beauty!

Free Floating Yellow Kayak
good morning…this morning Laura Hutson who lives across from the church saw a free floating yellow kayak out on the river. She feels by now it might be by Maxie’s. She didn’t have a boat to retrieve it but wants the owner to know so you can get it .

Follow up from the LHHA meeting Tuesday evening
It was a large turn out Tuesday night to hear presentations from TWRA and Knox County Animal Control. In fact both presenters told me they were amazed at our turn out and participation.
These were important subjects as we live with both wild and domestic animals in our neighborhood. We learned interesting info about the wild animals that roam our properties and how to coexist with them. We also learned about care for our pets, AC Ordinances and respect for our neighbors regarding our pets.
We will follow up with details on specific items in future post. In the meantime the following is contact info and a link to the Knox County Sheriff’s Animal Control ordinances. If you have issues please don’t hesitate to contact them.

Alcoa Hwy construction zone–patrol needed; restore sign
After reading of the dangerous close-call at the Montlake Drive intersection involving an obviously speeding car, I posted the following to the general LHAA listserv. Perhaps it can be addressed at this evening’s meeting.
We neighbors need to make a couple of inquiring phone calls:
–First: to ask TDOT to restore the flashing sign for SOUTHBOUND drivers: “SPEED LIMIT 40 — STRICTLY ENFORCED BY RADAR.” Northbound drivers still see that flashing sign just before Maloney Road, but the southbound sign (just past the Naval Station) disappeared a while back.
–Second, to petition KPD to regularly patrol the work zone and cite drivers going obviously faster than 40mph.
During the first weeks of construction enforcement was good, and most drivers stayed fairly close to 40. Now–with the most obvious speed-limit-sign taken away, and lax enforcement–most drivers feel free to ignore the 40mph limit.
The more of us call, the more likely positive results.
