E-Bike Safety Reminder
With the arrival of summer, we’re seeing more E-bikes on our streets, sidewalks, and trails. We want to take this opportunity to educate the public about E-bike laws and safety.
Parents — please take a moment to review the graphic below. It’s important that children understand their responsibilities when operating an E-bike, including where they can ride and how to do so safely and legally.
✅ Helmet use is critical. We strongly encourage everyone, whether on a traditional bicycle or an E-bike, to always wear a helmet. It’s one of the simplest ways to stay protected while riding.
Let’s work together to make this a safe and enjoyable summer for everyone in our community. Ride smart, stay safe! ♀️☀️

Stops and Speeding…
Welcome to Summer! Once again it seems like drivers cutting through the Woods forget that the speed limit is only 25 MPH, and they have to actually stop at those big red octagon signs that say STOP. The Board is assuming that all of these drivers are from other parts of the city just driving down our streets, but just in case it one of you, please be advised.
The Board is working closely with our Councilman Gordon Short and the Strongsville Police Department to beef up traffic patrols throughout the neighborhood. They have agreed that no warnings will be given and tickets will be issued for all speeders and folks running (or rolling through) Stop Signs – SO BE CAREFUL AND DRIVE SAFE. If you have younger/newer drivers in your family, you may have to have a chat with them about driving habits. With Spring here (no it is really here) many more neighbors will be out walking, biking, going to the park, the soccer field, to play Pickleball, Tennis or Basketball, and kids walking to Kinsner. So we want to keep everyone safe.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
BIG NEWS! We can now recycle grocery store clamshells! Clean and dry, close the lid and put in your curbside recycling. https://rebrand.ly/98aze7s
The latest newsletter from Cuyahoga Recycles for Strongsville is here. The Recycle Right guidelines are HERE. Don’t “wishcycle” … please be informed. Let’s make the Woods as green as we can. Thanks!
Safe waste disposal is key to safe collection…
- Pressurized Cylinders: Whether it’s oxygen, propane, nitrous, or any other pressurized gas these cylinders should never be placed in your trash unless they are completely and totally empty. Preferably with the nozzle removed as proof. They can – and do – explode in trucks causing damage to property and persons.
- Lithium Batteries: These batteries are found in more and more items from electronics to birthday cards to light-up shoes. When the batteries get wet or punctured they can cause a thermal event that produces a very hot, resilient flame. They cause fires in trucks, transfer stations, landfills, and recycling facilities frequently and should never be thrown out at home. Staples currently accepts lithium batteries for free disposal.
- Loose Sharps: Regardless of what was in the original syringe, loose sharps pose a constant danger to solid waste professionals who can easily get stuck with the needle and need to go through lots of nerve-wracking testing. Throw sharps away inside an approved sharps container or other hard plastic sealable container. Tape them shut and make sure they are clearly labeled as sharps.
Dear Dog Owners:
It has been brought to the WOS Board’s attention that people are taking walks with their dog(s) untethered. There are resident concerns that can be acted upon. Your pet may be the sweetest and best pet ever, but laws are made for everyone, so please be lawful, and out of respect for your neighbors, please leash your pet when you take walks with them.
Neighbors: If you are a dog owner, you are walking your dog and it decides to poop – clean it up! It does not matter if it is on someones front yard or in one of the common areas of the development – please be considerate!! There have been many complaints about this and it’s a simple and considerate thing to do to keep after your pet’s droppings. Thank you in advance!
