By: Carolyn Mathews
Published: 23 February 2011
The president of the Sixes Road Community Association said as spring comes, and the grass begins to grow, area homeowners are going to notice a difference in the area’s upkeep, as trash piles up and the medians look weedy.
The community association, founded in 2007, has suspended its weekly landscape maintenance along Sixes Road, Bells Ferry Road and the Interstate 575-Sixes Road interchange because of a dramatic loss in membership funds.

SRCA Suspends Landscape Maintenance
The Sixes Road Community Association has suspended its weekly landscape
maintenance along Sixes Road, Bells Ferry Road and I-575 Interchange due to a
significant reduction in membership revenues for 2011. The reduction in 2011 revenue
has resulted from the withdrawal of membership and contribution from the Bridgemill
Community Association at the end of 2010.
The Sixes Road Community Association began in 2007 with the mission to enhance the
appearance and value of the community by providing weekly landscape maintenance and
trash/litter removal along the roadways that connect neighborhoods and businesses along
Sixes Road. Funding has been provided by an annual contribution of $20 per household
from the member neighborhoods and voluntary commercial contributions. Current
Neighborhood Members of the Sixes Road Community Association are: Copper Creek,
Lake Sovereign, Falls of Cherokee, Cherokee Falls/Estates at the Lake and Highland
Point.
For the past two years, Bridgemill was an active member of the Sixes Road Community
Association and weekly landscape maintenance included the south side on and off ramps
of I-575, right of way and medians along Sixes Road and right of way along the Bells
Ferry corridor. The enhanced value has been enjoyed by all who live, work and visit the
Sixes Road area.
With the absence of Bridgemill’s contribution for 2011, the Presidents of the Member
Neighborhood Associations and Directors of Sixes Road Community Association have
decided to suspend the activities of weekly landscape maintenance and trash/litter
removal while evaluating the reduction in revenue and determining a course for the
future.
The Sixes Road Community Association will continue with its efforts to build
community spirit among the neighborhoods and businesses of Sixes Road.
