E-Bike Safety Reminder
With the arrival of spring and summer, we’ll be seeing more E-bikes on our streets, sidewalks, and trails. We want to take this opportunity to educate the public about E-bike laws and safety.
Parents — please take a moment to review this information. It’s important that children understand their responsibilities when operating an E-bike, including where they can ride and how to do so safely and legally.
✅ Helmet use is critical. We strongly encourage everyone, whether on a traditional bicycle or an E-bike, to always wear a helmet. It’s one of the simplest ways to stay protected while riding.
Let’s work together to make this a safe and enjoyable summer for everyone in our community. Ride smart, stay safe! ♀️☀️

Stops and Speeding…
Once again it seems like drivers in the Woods, whether they are residents or not, forget that the speed limit is only 25 MPH, and they have to actually stop at those big red octagon signs that say STOP. Just in case it one of you, please be advised.
The Board is working closely with our Councilman Gordon Short and the Strongsville Police Department to beef up traffic patrols throughout the neighborhood. They have agreed that no warnings will be given and tickets will be issued for all speeders and folks running (or rolling) through Stop Signs – SO BE CAREFUL AND DRIVE SAFE. If you have younger/newer drivers in your family, you may have to have a chat with them about driving habits. Many neighbors are out walking, biking, going to the park, the soccer field, to play Pickleball, Tennis or Basketball, and kids walking to Kinsner. So we want to keep everyone safe.
IS YOUR LAMP POST WORKING???
We’ve taken an assessment lately and have lost count how many lamp posts are not operational. The only source of light that we have throughout the neighborhood is the lamppost at the end of your driveway. This is also A STRONGSVILLE CITY ORDINANCE, 1442.08, and you may be fined. Is yours working? If your light is not working, we have discovered a few of the more common problems with solutions…
- Make sure the switch in your house is turned on for your lamppost light (many are in the foyers or half baths). Could also be a tripped GFI button on an indoor outlet (just push reset button, typically red, or the top one).
- Check the outside outlet closest to the lamppost – make sure the GFI button did not pop. (if it has, just push it in to reset it)
- The automatic sensor may need to be changed. You can pick up a new one at Home Depot or Lowes.
- Change the light bulb (dusk to dawn bulbs are inexpensive and available at many local stores for anywhere from 8-12 bucks, easiest option)
We have found that nearly all of the lights that are not working are fixed using this 4-step procedure. If this does not work, you may need to contact an electrician. Please check yours for the safety and well-being of all Woods residents. Thank you.
Guidelines and Tips on recycling right.
Dear Pet Owners/Walkers:
In case you didn’t know, it is actually against Ohio law to leave your pet’s feces on someone’s lawn. Not only that, it’s rude and disrespectful. PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS when you walk them in the neighborhood. You are at risk of getting caught with all the cameras available on homes and in pockets today. Please, just be a good pet owner and neighbor and pick up after your pet.
ALSO, people are taking walks with their dog(s) untethered. There are resident concerns that can be acted upon. Your pet may be the sweetest and best pet ever, but laws are made for everyone, so please be lawful, and out of respect for your neighbors, please leash your pet when you take walks with them.
