You can tell from the photographs that even though we are limited in what we can do and where we can go, Lakewood Trails residents are making the best of it.

Annual Halloween Party - CANCELED
Saturday, October 17, 2020
We have been postponing the decision making on whether or not to have the annual Lakewood Trails Halloween Block Party this year as long as we could. The date for the party is only 6 weeks away, Saturday October 17. Obviously, the COVID situation hasn’t improved as much as we had hoped, so regretfully, we are postponing this annual event. As things improve, we will look to rescheduling a similar event in the spring.
To make up for it, a little, we are going to have a special Halloween Yard of the Month award, given out at the end of October, for the spookiest yard. More details on this will be coming soon!
We are sorry but hopefully we will gather as a neighborhood again in the spring!

We welcome your comments/ pictures OR ideas for articles.
Summer Garden Corner #1 is all about using your extra time this summer to grow your own vegetable garden, by our neighbor Donna Dierkes.
Summer Garden Corner #2 is about some of our LTNA neighbors who have been making the most of this "sheltering at home" time by planting and tending their very own vegetable, fruit and herb gardens at their homes.

2020 BRUSH AND BULK COLLECTION
Posted on Jan 14th, 2020
Lakewood Trails brush and bulk trash collection is the third week of the Month. For 2020, the weeks are: Jan 19, Feb 16, Mar 15, Apr 19, May 17, Jun 14, Jul 19, Aug 16, Sept 21, Oct 18, Nov 15, and Dec 20. Items must be set out by 7am on the Monday of collection week, but not earlier than the Thursday before our collection week.
More information and to download the Dallas Sanitation app: DallasBrushandBulk.com
On June 19, 2019 the Dallas City Council adopted an ordinance amending regulations related to brush and bulky trash. Monthly brush and bulky trash collection will be limited to 10 cubic yards. (10 cubic yards = approximately 10 stoves). One month per calendar year, residents may set out up to 20 cubic yards, provided it is requested by calling 3-1-1 in advance. Enforcement of these new limits begins on July 1, 2020.
Where the quantity of brush and bulky trash set out for collection exceeds 10 cubic yards and a request for an oversized brush and bulky trash collection was not submitted, the set out may be collected and a fee will be assessed on the dwelling unit's water bill. The fee will be assessed at a rate of $60 per five cubic yards, billed in five cubic yard increments. A citation may be issued in addition to the collection fee.
The Department of Sanitation Services will begin a public awareness campaign in early 2020 to alert residents of the changes to brush and bulky trash regulations.
