SNOW PLOWING: We need your help! For residents who live on alleys in Valley West, please do your best to keep obstacles out of the way so the plowing crews can do their job. Thank you!
Snow plowing on city streets: The city of Bozeman is responsible for snow plowing in city streets in Valley West and The Lakes (streets that are indicated by green street signs). The city plows snow when at least four inches have fallen. Consult the Residential Street Snow Removal Schedule (available here) to find the day of the week when your neighborhood should normally be plowed. The city also manages snow removal around the city parks.
Valley West HOA receives many complaints when the city falls behind on snow plowing. Unfortunately, the HOA has no power to influence the city's plowing schedule. If needed, contact the Bozeman city Streets department here.
Snow plowing on HOA property: Valley West HOA removes snow in the alleys in Valley West, woonerfs in The Lakes (identified by blue street signs), and sidewalks throughout the community. The HOA's plowing vendor removes snow when at least two inches have fallen. When we experience a large snowfall, our HOA's plowing crews will keep up as much as possible while the snow is falling, and will come back the following day to do a cleanup if needed. We thank everyone for your patience and understanding as our valued partners work around the clock to dig us out.
Dogs off leash: There are too many dogs running loose! Please be mindful to always keep your dog on leash and clean up after your dog. Report off-leash dogs to Bozeman Animal Control.
Parking in woonerfs and alleys: The HOA receives many complaints about residents and guests who park outside the designated parking pads in woonerfs in The Lakes. Recently the HOA installed NO PARKING signs in the woonerfs as a reminder to respect our neighbors and keep these narrow streets clear for traffic and snow removal in the winter. Similarly, please park only in designated parking spaces (on your own property) in the alleys of Valley West.
Cracks and potholes: The HOA is assessing the asphalt conditions in the alleys and woonerfs for future repairs. Please report specific concerns (Contact)
