Wear Boots! It could be snowy, cold, wet, rainy or muddy! Note – unless hazardous conditions exist (blinding snowstorms that make driving hazardous, etc.) we intend to clean-up.
COVID precautions – face masks are mandatory. Socially distancing – please clean-up together only in your “family-based bubble” we do not want to chance spreading this terrible virus. If you feel sick, please stay home – there will be many more opportunities in the future to help our community.
Many thanks to the FCPD – Sergeant Powell who stopped the planned archery – deer hunt in this park, just so that we could clean it up!
Next event – Royal Lake Park Clean-up – Annual Spring effort, more info to follow.
Service Hours – Students & Scouts – if you need “service hours” since during Covid – we are not doing our monthly “small clean-ups” please contact me at KPWRoadRaiders@gmail.com and we can individually arrange specific clean-up/park improvement projects for you & your friends.
Any questions, please send me an email or call.

Good evening to all.
The Snow Emergency for this event is hereby canceled.
Expect refreezing to occur during the melt so watch where you walk (and drive) during the next few days.
Trash pickup did occur today and we can expect to have recycling pickup tomorrow. Please refer to the Patriot Disposal website for the most accurate information (www.patriotdisposalservices.com).
The Gainsborough Drive Snow Emergency No Parking Zones are hereby rescinded. All poles and tape have been removed from those curbs and parking may resume. Message boards will be updated tomorrow.
The pool parking did not receive any vehicles for the event so normal parking restrictions are hereby in effect.
The marker poles designating the speed humps will remain through the rest of the season.
Thanks again for your assistance with keeping the no parking zones free and to those who took care of the community sidewalks.
Stay safe,
Mark
Good evening to all.
Once again this evening please expect to find adverse conditions on all streets, sidewalks, and footpaths throughout the community.
We will have another salt truck through the roads this evening.
Currently the trash pickup for tomorrow is still on. Any communities with Monday pickups had to be canceled due to the weather conditions – please refer to the Patriot Disposal website for the most accurate information (www.patriotdisposalservices.com).
The Gainsborough Drive Snow Emergency No Parking Zones remain in effect. We are keeping the pool parking lot plowed and salted should anyone need to park there (with a valid permit) during this emergency.
As with yesterday’s email, thank you to all who took their time to clear common sidewalks to help make our community more safe to walk through.
Talk to y’all again tomorrow.
Stay safe,
Mark
