A Big Thank You to Our Community
We sincerely thank everyone who stepped up to help during these last few months. From decorating the entrances to shoveling driveways and sidewalks and assisting neighbors with downed branches during the recent snowfall – your efforts truly embody the spirit of Ridgemont. While the snow has finally melted, we still have the potential for more winter weather in the coming weeks—let’s continue to look out for each other!
Road & Utility Repairs
With the changing temperatures, road issues such as potholes may become more noticeable. Since our neighborhood roads are maintained by St. Louis County, any repair requests should be directed to the county using the following link:

Concerns About Speeding in the Neighborhood
We have received concerns from residents about speeding, particularly at the top of Huntley Heights and near Warmington Ct., where cars have been observed driving at an excessive speed. This is especially alarming as there is a school bus stop at the intersection with Carmen Valley, not to mention the many children who play in the main thoroughfares.
We encourage all residents and visitors to please be mindful of speed limits and drive with caution, especially on hills and near intersections. If we continue to receive complaints, we will explore additional mitigation options to help reduce speeding. If you have suggestions or would like to be involved in discussions on this issue, please email [email protected].
Please Don’t Feed the Deer (or racoons, skunks or armadillos)
We understand the allure to our local wildlife and while it can be tempting to leave out food for them, please don’t. Along with violating local laws, feeding wild animals can create several unintended problems, including:
- Overpopulation & Health Issues – Artificial food sources can lead to an unsustainable increase in the deer and other wildlife population, which puts stress on the local environment and can lead to disease spread.
- Traffic Hazards – Deer that are accustomed to being fed near homes tend to lose their natural wariness, increasing the likelihood of vehicle collisions.
- Property Damage – Feeding wildlife encourages them to linger in residential areas, where they may damage landscaping, gardens, and trees.
By avoiding feeding, we help keep both neighborhood and wildlife safe.
Stay in Touch
As always, we appreciate your involvement in keeping Ridgemont a great place to live. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to email us at [email protected].
Stay safe and warm,
Ridgemont HOA
