The Brays Oaks Management District is taking a proactive stance in addressing the issue of broken curbs within our community. Recognizing that well-maintained streets and infrastructure significantly contribute to the overall value and “curb appeal” and safety of the area, the district is committed to enhancing the quality of life for all residents and businesses.

Surveying the District for Improvement

Recently, the Board of Directors conducted a comprehensive survey of the district to identify areas in need of repair and improvement. This initiative highlighted the prevalence of broken curbs, prompting the board to determine that the responsibility for these repairs lies with the city. Understanding the importance of timely action, the district has formulated a strategic plan to advocate for necessary improvements.

Advocating for City Action

The action plan involves sending a coalition of letters to city council members and at-large representatives, urging them to prioritize the repair of broken curbs in the Brays Oaks area. By engaging with city officials, the district aims to expedite the repair process while ensuring that municipal responsibilities are fulfilled.

Responsible Use of Funds

The Brays Oaks Management District is mindful of the constraints imposed by city ordinances, which stipulate that the district’s services should supplement and not duplicate city services. This awareness guides the district in the careful allocation of funds, ensuring that resources are used effectively to enhance, rather than replicate municipal efforts.

Ongoing Community Services

Beyond addressing infrastructure concerns, the district conducts year-round services that significantly contribute to the community’s well-being, including:

  • Esplanade Adoption and Maintenance: The district has adopted and enhanced numerous esplanades with irrigation systems and professionally designed landscaping, creating more inviting and attractive common areas.
  • Litter Abatement and Sign Removal: In an ongoing effort to keep our streets and public areas clean and well-kept, the district’s hired contractors conduct litter cleanup, removal of unauthorized signs, returning stray shopping carts to stores, and mowing under-maintained public rights-of-way.
  • Graffiti Abatement and Light Maintenance: The district actively conducts regular graffiti removal and reports street light outages for prompt repair, enhancing both the safety and appearance of our neighborhoods.
  • Community Partnerships and Cleanups: Collaborating with local organizations and community groups, the district participates in planning and developing green spaces, community gardens, and organizes neighborhood cleanups to foster a sense of community pride.

The Brays Oaks Management District understands that the appearance and maintenance of our community directly impacts property values and resident satisfaction. By proactively addressing issues like broken curbs and supporting ongoing beautification projects, the district demonstrates its dedication to making Brays Oaks a desirable place to invest, live and work.
