Practices start as early as May 20th, so sign up today!
It’s officially spring, and that means it’s time for the city’s annual spring cleaning! The Street Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department will begin street sweeping operations on Monday, April 1, and will continue through mid-October, weather permitting. Village Green is in Section E from the map. Section E’s scheduled dates are: May 20-24; Aug 12-16; and Oct 14-18.
Street sweeping plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of our local waterways by removing accumulated debris and pollutants, such as sand, salt, metals, petroleum products, and bacteria, before they enter the storm drains. This season, the city is deploying ten mechanical street sweepers at regularly scheduled times to clear debris from city-maintained roads. In 2023 alone, 20,085 miles of curbs were swept and 6,558 dump truck loads of debris were removed from city streets.
Please be mindful of the bright orange signs posted on major streets leading into neighborhoods, indicating temporary parking restrictions for street sweeping. In the Southeast Community, where off-street parking is limited and one-way streets are common, permanent red and white signs specify a once-per-month period when parking is prohibited for street sweeping.
On street sweeping days, ensure that vehicles, basketball goals, and other bulk items are off the streets by 9 a.m.; parking may resume after 3 p.m. Private streets, mobile home parks, and privately owned apartment complex streets are not included in the street sweeping program.
For a detailed street sweeping schedule and more information about the program, please visit the Public Works Website or call 757-933-2311.
One of the great aspects of our neighborhood is we look out for each other. There are times, however, where we may sometimes get complacent and forget, while we’re driving through the neighborhood, all the people who walk and bike in the same road we drive. The greatest thing we can do for our fellow neighbors is to keep our vigilance high while we’re driving through the neighborhood. How can we do that? We can follow the speed limit (25 MPH) for the neighborhood. We can, as we’re transitioning from one street to another (such as from a side street to the Village Green Parkway), think of those intersections as having an implicit yield sign. Take the time to look for other cars, families spending some time walking the neighborhood, neighbors walking their dog or opossum, or kids riding their bikes or skateboards and give them the right of way. This is especially important at night as there are many blind spots and not as well lit areas where one of your neighbors may be not visible or less visible until it is too late.
How else can we help each other? The intersections at Village Green Parkway and Baxter as well as Village Green Parkway by the Marquee/Park have seen an increase in drivers treating the STOP as more of a SLOW. Just recently someone in the neighborhood played chicken with a police officer (driving their personal vehicle at the time) at one of the intersections. Remember back to those driver training courses when you first got your license. The STOP sign is intended to allow you to have the time to determine who else may be in your direct path of motion and allow each of you navigate the intersection and get to your destination safely.
Please share this message with your friends, family, and neighbors. Let’s help keep this neighborhood the safe community it is.

Our you Village Green swim team members have two great opportunities for you to support them.
Today, Sunday March 27 9-10am (approximate) they will be making coffee and hot chocolate for a small donation.
Also, you can take a look at and pre-order the Village Green coffee mug that was designed and made by Connor. Stop by to see them. If you would like to order a mug, here is short video Connor put together.

On a blustery but beautiful day, Village Green Neighbors were out in full force prepping the park and pool area for summer fun! Volunteers pitched in to finish up details on the park equipment, clean off the pool deck and pull out chaise lounges and chairs, clean and organize the clubhouse storage area and clean the bathrooms and kitchen area, clear leaves from around the pool perimeter and spread mulch in the flower beds. I tried to catch everyone in pictures, but I may have missed some. A huge thank you to these and all of our volunteers who come together to make this such a great neighborhood. We appreciate you and the work you so willingly do!
A big thanks goes out to Glenn and Wendy Woodell, Dave and Laura Cvitanovich, Amy Nuttal, Jonathan and Rachel McBride, Ryan and Jenn Greene, Ambrose and his boys, the Blocks, James and Aidan Mountjoy, Glenn Magnussen, Phil Krauss, Debi Henderson, Rich Spivak, Thomas Herrera, and Coach Amy. If we missed anyone…THANK YOU!
We will need volunteers to help with annual VGCA Spring cleanup tasks for the VGCA park, pool, and clubhouse!
