TIME CHANGE TOMORROW!

HACKBERRY STREETS, ALLEYS & SIDEWALKS -

DID YOU KNOW?

Have you ever wondered how much concrete the HOA is responsible for here in Hackberry Creek? Here are some interesting statistics:

Alleys - approximately 400,000 square feet

Sidewalks - Approximately 469,000 square feet

Streets - Approximately 1,820,000 square feet

All totaled amounts to 2,689,000 square feet, or roughly 46 and 1/2 football fields (including endzones). This also amounts to over 61 acres. Another way to look at it... is that much concrete adds up to just about 15 miles of street 34 feet wide.

2023 STREET REPAIRS - IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL REPAIR LOCATIONS IN-PROCESS

In an effort to identify areas that may be in need of repair please follow the link below to report any concerns. We are looking at Alleys, Streets, Curbs, Sidewalks and Driveway Approaches as well as areas that have ponding or standing water in streets and along curbs. Even if you have reported the issue before, please fill out the form by following the link below to ensure your concern is on the master list.

These areas will be categorized along with areas identified by the Village Manager. Once the final list of all areas is complete, the areas will be reviewed by an engineer and ranked in order of priority / severity / need to address (in conjunction with the Board). After a budget amount is set for the 2023 street repair project, repairs will be scheduled on a priority (ranked) basis in order for the project to stay within the allotted budget amount. It is important to note that not every area submitted will necessarily be repaired or addressed. It all depends on the severity of the issue in relation to other areas identified and the independent ranking scale of the engineer establishing the priority of those repairs.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT ISSUES IS DECEMBER 15TH, 2022

TREATS FOR TROOPS

Are you interested in donating your excess Halloween Candy to the troops? In years past, Hackberry Creek homeowners have donated over 75 lbs of candy from the Neighborhood!  Please feel free to donate any of your extra candy you no longer want and Linda will box it up and ship to Solider’s Angels at her expense. Contact Linda Walls at lbkaoct6@gmail.com for more information.
