Any resident using this bike rack must move their bike to another bike rack that is nearby. Please do not use the bike rack in the picture until after it has been moved.

Bikes need to be moved by Monday, November 13.

If you decorated with pumpkins, remember to dispose of them in the nearest dumpster before they go bad and attract unwanted pests.
