Ahead of the final Senior Photography class, all are welcome to stop by the Superior Community Center (1500 Coalton Road) from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12 to check out a slideshow of the group's favorite photos.

Superior residents can pick up two free leaf bags at the Superior Community Center (1500 Coalton Road) or the Superior Civic Space (2250 Main St., Suite 1001) while supplies last.

Get outside, help your neighbors and keep the community safe by volunteering for the Snow Buster program!

The program assists residents who report being physically and financially unable to remove snow, sleet and ice from the sidewalk adjacent to their property to remain in compliance with Municipal Code 11-1-20.

If you need help or want to help others, Snow Busters is the program for you! Volunteers will be assigned to a community member who requires assistance with snow removal.

To volunteer or request assistance, complete the Snow Busters program application.

Residents are invited to a Comprehensive Plan Update Open House event on Oct. 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Superior Community Center, 1500 Coalton Road.

Those in attendance will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the Comprehensive Plan Update related to finalizing land use recommendations for Opportunity Areas and discuss recommendations from survey data collected during the Chili Fest about what the Town priorities should be moving forward.

Not all e-bikes are the same, and not all are legal for riders under 16. Understanding your bike’s specifications is key to knowing who can ride it and where. Since it’s not always easy to tell, check the manufacturer’s specifications before you ride.

The Town has traditionally offered a Holiday Lighting display at various locations throughout the Town.

This coming holiday season, the Town will reduce display locations to focus on Town facilities and properties, and commercial centers. This will eliminate roughly eight locations in the Rock Creek neighborhood, Sagamore neighborhood, and Original Town.

Neighborhoods may install lighting displays of their own or choose to sponsor the cost of displays in their neighborhood by partnering with the Town.
