Keep Kids Safe at the B-BAR-H Ranch!

The efforts we make to improve our neighborhood can be focussed on one very important fact. Our streets need to be safe for our children. We may not all have children, but for those who do have children living on the B-BAR-H Ranch property, there are concerns about their children's safety, and that's important. It's important enough for all of us to take a stand for the children.

We all should be concerned about our neighbors' children. Please take time to make sure the items in your yard are child-proof. Clean the street area in front of your home where the children walk to the bus stop. Take time to create a safe environment for the children. We do not want anything to happen to any of the children in our neighborhood.

There have been a variety of comments made by many of the people who live at the B-BAR-H Ranch. The PaintbrushTrail.com Blog is designed so anyone can make an anonymous comment about anything they desire. Open communication will help us bridge the gaps and understand all the viewpoints. There's no right way or wrong way -- there's only differences, and the way we can approach the tasks at hand is as a community. It's a way we can address the concerns of the neighborhood.

Here's some comments made pertaining to the safety of our children. These comments are taken directly from the anonymous comments our neighbors made. If people are thinking about these things, then we need to do something to minimize the stress and create a safe neighborhood for the children.

One person wrote, "Our children have to walk to the bus stop in fear of being attacked by DOGS! There's glass in the streets!!! There's garbage piled in yards which attract RATS! Things are getting out of control."

Another comment was made, "We have our children waiting for the school bus with sometimes glass in the street or dumped construction materials that are in the bus stop areas. This is a health hazard for our children as well as having loose dogs running around the neighborhood, my family and I have had issues with loose Pit bulls in our yard once even attacking my vehicle with myself and children inside as we sat in our drive way thinking how we were going to get inside our home safely."

On Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at the VFW Hall (scroll page to see the map) the B-BAR-H Ranch Neighborhood is meeting to discuss items like those listed above. We hope you attend the meeting and join the conversation.
