As a Board, we have worked hard to address the perceived issue of speeding over the past year through a lot of community action. We have had our best success through direct action -- calling delivery companies, talking to trades working in Odeno directly, knocking on a neighbor's door whom you believe is driving fast. 

Direct Action Options:

Delivery Trucks - Call companies and provide feedback with license and vehicle description.

Amazon - 1-888-280-4331

USPS - Muskegon Heights Branch, Odeno's Post Office - 231-733-2434

FedEx - 1.800.463.3339

UPS - 1-888-742-5877

School Busses - Contact Kathy Randall, Fruitport Transportation Department at (231) 865-3196

Fellow Odeno Community Members - A friendly conversation can go a long way. Here are some possible talking points to help create and maintain a safe and positive community.

• Please remind yourself and any guests that our speed limit is 20 mph, but slower is always welcome!

• Please drive with care! We have many children, pets and other wildlife on or near our streets!

• Remember to take it slow on our curves, anyone could be around the corner!

If your attempts to directly take action don't help, the Board can send a letter, but it's hard to address something we don't have explicit proof of. Please Contact the Board should you need assistance.

Many have asked about increasing legal signage or changing the speed limit, but unfortunately, Odeno has been planned and approved as safe and appropriate with the Township. Additionally, changing the Planned Unit Developed (PUD) requires the Association pay for surveys, studies, civil engineers, approval by 911-Emergency, all construction costs, etc. At this time, this is not something the Association will look into further.

The Postal Boxes -- officially called a Collection Box Unit (CBU) -- are official property of the United States Postal Service. Any issues with the CBU should be reported to the local post office for resolve. 

Information About the CBUs at Odeno:

" The U.S. Postal Service recently revised regulations concerning the issuance of keys to customers' who receive mail as you do. The regulations state that the customer will receive all three (3) of the keys. You may duplicate the keys at your own expense. If you should lose all of your keys, there will be a ($40) forty dollar charge to replace the lock and receive (3) three new keys."

If your lock should break or you lose all keys, call the Muskegon Post Office at (231) 722-7292, Monday- Friday between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm to report your problem.

You will need to provide your name, address, and a working phone number in order for the maintenance department to make an appointment to change your lock and get keys to you.

The HOA has a $250 move-in fee that is paid when you close on your home. Any arrears that may be tied to your lot will be communicated by the Odeno Association Treasurer, Robert J. Sobie.
