Managers Update To The Community- 3403 Bulletin April 2021
CONTINUE TO READ UPDATES ONLINE AT: RADBURN.ORG - We invite all residents to log on to Radburn.org at your earliest convenience to create an account. You will find at Radburn.org any current issues that the Association wants to update you about, as well as important Association documents, etc.
COVID – We ask that all residents continue to be diligent by wearing masks where necessary in public and being cognizant of washing hands, etc. together we can do what we can never do alone - Thank you!
Spring -The landscaper has completed spring clean up and as mentioned in the March bulletin article - also cleared many paths of long over due trimming and overhang.
Summer Programs – management has been working on summer programs and registrations. Please continue to read any blasts that are sent out to update you regarding the status of the programs.
Walkways - We will also begin the next phase of walkway repairs within the next week or so. We will begin in B park, then the R park, then the A park. The physical properties/grounds committee is looking at the A park Gazebo walkway repair, as well as the R park having some pads installed to connect the steps to nowhere 😊. We also are looking at a continued access for a handicap ramp in the R park. Please be aware that if you have anything that is directly next to a slab, it should be relocated. The general rule has been a 2 foot setback from pathways. One slab at a time 😊 for the parks to have ease of use.
Tort Immunity Please support your community with this by law approval. You can see additional information online at the Radburn website.
MNLA – the firm that we hired for the landscape master plan – has begun to meet with the grounds committee, the arborist (Bartlett Trees) and will begin the process of the master plan to keep in line with the original intent of the parks (Marjorie Sewell Cautley) of course making adjustments for the climate and tree replacement (as it relates to diseases). The very talented Grounds committee is very committed to this exciting project! Management is submitting the required paperwork to obtain the funds from the New Jersey Historic Preservation fund. Thank you to all the residents that submitted their feedback about out parks. This information is being reviewed by the committee and MNLA.
The Architectural Committee and all the knowledgeable volunteers have continued to review and are working on updating and clarifying the guidelines. Once all is approved it will be sent out to all owners.

New Maintenance Vehicle -The new LSV vehicle is registered – happy for this vehicle for ease of use on the common park land and to protect the sidewalks and landscape.
New Residents! We would like to invite any New resident to call the office so you can learn about the 3 parks (A, B and R) . We will set up a private tour of the parks with some of our volunteers. Learn where the parks are located, along with the tennis courts, pools, etc. Once the Crossings is complete, there will be a 4th park – Archery Plaza. Very exciting times !
Our Grant process is moving along, we are submitting required documents to receive the approved funds for the MNLA master plan. We are now – as we speak – submitting for a project plan fund for the tunnel restoration project. The first phase is to get funding to draw up the project plans for the tunnel and the surrounding area. The next phase (in 2022) will be to submit for a grant for the actual construction of these areas. We will then be able to submit to several agencies to help support this large project.
The Pre-School is now accepting registrations beginning on Wednesday 5.4.2021 - please go to: www.radburn.org/preschool-registration.html
Speaking of Committees - We love to have homeowner involvement! Let us know if you have any special talents you would like to share for any of the committees, or suggestions for new committees, we are open to new ideas. Is anyone experienced with grant submissions? We would love someone to research grants for our playgrounds - call the office if interested, we have a list of possibilities. :-)
Upcoming projects - We have an engineer that will review the center of The Crossings green scape field which is to be deeded back to Radburn Association at the completion of The Crossings. This review will begin once the conditions have stabilized. The tennis court brick wall will be repointed in May, as the warm temperature stabilizes.
Some reminders for Radburn members - Please be sure to have your Real estate agent, or yourself - contact the office prior to your closing on the sale of your home so that we can be sure that the new owner gets the proper documentation they need for their closing.

PLEASE – Do not put food in any of the parks for wildlife, as it will affect domestic pets and attract rodents.
Did you know ?? There are a few small walkways located between homes that are actually private walkways of the adjoining homes. Not every homeowner is open to people walking there, so we suggest taking the larger common paths.
Radburn Crossings- A warm welcome to all the new members moving in to your homes at the Crossings. Hang in there during construction. We have a Crossings Committee among the 2 associations. We met to discuss some agreed upon areas of concern at the Crossings. We look forward to continued communications between both associations moving forward. Feel free to reach out to your managing agent Integra, or to Radburn Association if you need information on the parks and programs, etc.
Radburn Association would like to ask homeowners to be sure to keep the fronts of their homes clear of trash and their cans put away after every pick up - your homes are close to each other so your neighbors really appreciate your cooperation to help keep your property values up and Radburn Beautiful. How you maintain your home will affect your neighbors resale value and vise versa.
Architectural Applications - Any exterior modifications must be submitted with an architectural application to the office – BEFORE you begin any projects. This includes tree removals. We also need to know that the Borough permits are being applied for as well. Please call the office first with any questions to be sure all would be approved. Thank you! Please take the time to review Board Updates Below
See you out and about! 😊 Janet
