There are a few things we wanted to bring to the attention of our residents which recently occurred.
- The City of Grand Prairie had what appears to be a subcontractor mow the city’s Right of Way (ROA) on both sides of Belt Line Road last Friday, August 15th . Our landscaping crew told me the following day that the City crew had scalped both sides of the road and that you could easily tell where they mowed and where our landscaping contractor mowed on Saturday. I do plan on talking with the City about this but they may now agree to raise their mower decks; they may be cutting the grass close to reduce the amount of mows they have to do this year in an effort to reduce their costs.
- On Saturday, we had a delivery truck from the local Rent-a-Center drive on our grass/common area while attempting to deliver to the front door of the home. I heard the backup alarm and went to investigate. And there sat a RAC truck, having purposefully driven around 4 posts placed to stop people from driving on the grass. I told the driver that he had to move the vehicle immediately and told him of a previous RAC truck that got stuck in the same common area and had to be pulled out by a tow truck.
They then decided they could deliver to the rear of the home, using the street; why they didn’t do this to begin with is anyone’s guess. I will be calling their district offices regarding this matter.
