At our October 2026 annual meeting, City and other representatives gave us a presentation on a number of construction projects in and around the neighborhood, including:

• Rehab work on the bridge on Woodland, scheduled to begin in spring 2027.
• Replacement of ramps on street corners to make them ADA-compliant; if you have a corner property you probably have received a letter regarding this work. They hope to begin work next spring.
• After the ramp replacement is done, they will re-pave the subdivision. They have not determined what order they will do the work in, and although it will be an inconvenience, we should not lose access to our driveways, except for very short periods of time when they have to re-pave those areas.
• Replacement of the culvert across the intersection from Ann Arbor/Woodland, toward Woodland Meadows and Wildwood. That work is expected to begin next summer, and while they hope to keep one lane on Woodland open, it’s going to be a significant disruption.

In unrelated work, many people have probably noticed a problem with the timing of the traffic light at Ann Arbor/Woodland, and it staying on red far too long for Woodland traffic. We emailed the City about it, and Brandon McNiel, the City’s new Director of Public Services, responded immediately and got a crew out to the light, who determined that the “puck” detector implanted in the ground is blown, and needs to be replaced. The City will get quotes for a new one and get it fixed. Until then the light will be on a straight timed basis.

On August 13, 2025, at 7:00 pm, the City of Saline Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to hear a request for a final Planned Unit Development site plan application.

The PUD would call for development of 51 units of residential units across 5 buildings, on a 6.58-acre parcel.

If you would like to comment on the request, you may attend the public hearing or call the City or mail your comments to the City. Note that the comments must be received not later than 5:00 pm on August 13, 2025.

The notice from the City may be downloaded here.

A concern has been brought to our attention regarding the condition of the sidewalks. Unfortunately the timing of the last storm was not beneficial to us getting them cleared sufficiently due to the wet snow immediately transitioning into a deep freeze. Dan’s crew was out today and he said they are improving. Warmer temps are on the way next week which will make a big impact. He will monitor conditions next week and may even scrape a time or two to remove the slush. We discussed salting but he cautioned that in many areas with no place for the water/slush to go, it could just refreeze on the sidewalk. We may look into some targeted salting next week in the more shaded areas, wait for it to do it’s work then scrape.

We’re going to clear just sidewalks today. Then based on how much we get Friday morning we may clear driveways tomorrow.

1-3 inches is expected tomorrow, Jan 19th, tapering off around 1p. Assuming we get some snow, our snow contractor will be clearing driveways and sidewalks tomorrow afternoon. That will clean them up given there is already an inch or so on them.

So snow appears to be coming.  Still not sure how much but it looks like the bulk of it will be between 3 and 7p.  Our snow contractor will be out tonight going around the neighborhood starting around 9p.  If we get more than 2″ then they’ll do driveways. Sidewalks will be cleared as well.   Any issues, please email us at bod@salinenorthview.org

Update (9:30pm): I show 5 inches at my house and round 1 appears to be over.  Now for some bit of rain before it turns colder.   Dan and his crew will be out shortly and into the am hrs clearing driveways and the sidewalks

We will hold our annual neighborhood garage sale on Saturday, May 18, 2024.

At our August 25, 2020 Board meeting we spent a lot of time discussing the possibility of holding the October 13th annual meeting as a combination of both in-person and virtual (Zoom), but the logistical challenges are significant enough that we decided to hold the meeting by Zoom, only. We are going to do everything we can to be as efficient with our time together as we would if we were meeting in person, so between now and then we will be working on how to accomplish that goal. We will mail a letter to all homeowners in the next few weeks with the Zoom details; if you do not receive the letter, please let us know and we will mail you another copy or email it to you. If you lose the letter and need us to send you the Zoom sign-in details (which we are not going to post publicly, for security reasons), please email us at bod@salinenorthview.org.We plan to begin check-in at 6:30 pm and then begin the meeting as close to 7:00 pm as possible. It will greatly help if everyone would check in early; if we get a rush of people right at 7:00 pm, that will prevent us from being able to start on time.

We encourage everyone in the neighborhood to attend and participate in the meeting, so you can know more about what we are doing, what we are spending your money on, and so you can ask whatever questions or raise any concerns or complaints you might have. If you are interested in volunteering to serve on the Board (two-year terms), we would especially like you to participate in the meeting, because we will be holding elections for three open Board positions.
