Lighting Update
The Newbridge HOA Board continues to coordinate with Dominion on swapping out our current streetlights for LED fixtures. Current lights will be replaced like-for-like; LED lights with shading to focus light downwards. Dominion has yet to provide us a scheduled installation date, stating that they have many installations delayed due to supply chain issues.
Traffic Calming Measures
Residents of Newbridge, Golf Course Square and Golf Course View clusters, will soon be asked to vote on whether or not the county should build two speed humps on Golf Course Drive. The purpose of this is to mitigate speeding in this high density area. The average speed of drivers on Golf Course Drive is 36 mph, while the speed limit is 25 mph.
You can view the County's presentation at the recent Golf Course Square Traffic Calming community meeting by clicking the link below.

The Newbridge Design Committee has proposed draft standards for consideration, which includes: Trim & Fence, Lighting, Doors, Windows, Decks & Patios, Siding, Enclosures & Sheds. The color palette is still under update.

Community Rules and Reminders
Landscape Expectations
If you have flowers or shrubs in your landscaping beds, you must keep them under control and free of weeds. Shrubs and trees should not be allowed to overgrow the space they are in where they cover up windows, grow over the sidewalk, etc.
Weeds must be pulled frequently to maintain a neat and orderly landscaping bed.
Please do not allow anything on your property that holds water – flower pots, bird bath, children’s pool, etc. as these will attract mosquitoes
