Winter has arrived!
Your ACC has recently put a 5-gallon bucket/container of “soft-salt” at the new Stop-Sign located at the intersection of 134th Street NW and 13th Avenue NW (first primary PRR entrance) as this intersection can become slippery and pose a hazard.
This new “salt-bucket” is air-tight with a screw-on top cover. There is a metal cup inside the bucket. The bucket’s “soft-salt” contains an Eco-Friendly blend of salts that minimizes use of pure sodium chloride (NaCl). As such, it is favorable toward lawns, trees, shrubs, and our Puget Sound.
Should you need to use the salt for safe passage, please note that 4-5 cups (spread somewhat uniformly) is sufficient for treating the entire intersection. When closing the screw-on top of the bucket, it only needs to be “snug” to engage the gasket/seal. Be careful not to over-tighten which will break the seal, allow moisture in, and render the entire bucket unusable!
For your own property, during our cold and sometimes icy Winter months, please refrain from using traditional “Rock-Salt” on your driveways/walks. “Rock-Salt” is not only detrimental to the environment, it is also harsh for your landscape, concrete, and our newly repaired/re-sealed roadways.
Please be diligent and courteous toward fellow neighbors while driving throughout PRR . our entire community is much better with your considerate observance. Enjoy the Holiday Season and drive safely.
Thank you,
Patty Lee, ACC Liaison and Committee
