We've had reports of young people entering the retention basins and playing on the ice.

Under no circumstances should anyone be on the ice or in the basins.  The ice is thin and the basins can be deeper than they look.

If you see anyone on the ice, please contact the North Ridgeville Police at 440 327-2191 (non-emergency number).

Street Lights

Please call the City at (440) 353-0812 to report any outages.  Provide a street location and/or address if possible.  They will contact Ohio Edison for us to schedule a repair.

Adopt A Tree Project

Thank You to the Meadow Lakes Landscape Committee who initiated the Adopt A Tree Project to beautify the walking path between Otten Road and Sandy Lake.  66 Cleveland Pear trees were planted thanks to generous homeowner donations utilizing volunteer labor.  The path along Meadow Lakes Blvd. between Otten Road to Overlook Way is completed.  Continued donations will ensure the balance of the path is planted in Spring 2010.  36 more tree adoptions will allow the team to finish through to Sandy Lake. Contact Al Cooney apcooney@yahoo.com to make a donation.

A special "Thank You" to Frank Dettore, his work crew, and Chris Teater for their technical assistance in planting the trees.  We also had help from a homeowner from Meadow Lakes South who wishes to remain anonymous.

Thank You to those listed below who generously donated funding for one, or in many cases, multiple trees.  Those marked with an asterisk (*) also volunteered their time and effort to plant, stake and mulch the new trees.

Development Wildlife

Our development has a wide variety of wildlife including many types of birds including Geese, Ducks, and Cranes.  Some of the wildlife that has been seen in our development is a little more dangerous such as Coyotes, Eagles, and Hawks.  For safety reasons you may want to learn more about these animals.
