Cul-de-Sac Sealcoating to be Applied

3rd Week of October

We’re happy to announce Williamsburg Village is working with Jet-Black again this year to sealcoat and repair cracks in Cul-de- Sacs on October 19^th – 21^st.   The four Cul-de-Sacs not coated last year will be coated this Fall and homeowners throughout Williamsburg will have the opportunity to have their driveways seal coated.

Homeowner Driveways:

Homeowners will have the opportunity to have their driveways sealcoated and cracks repaired at the same time Cul-de-Sacs are coated. Driveway seal coating will be quoted to homeowners upon request and at their own expense.

TO REQUEST A QUOTE, click HERE.  Click the link to Request a Quote. Timing is critical! YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST BY October 16, 2026. You will be contacted directly by Jet-Black with a quote.  Should you have any questions, please email us at contactus@williamsburgvillage.net.

Cul-de-Sac Parking:

As Cul-de-Sacs are repaired and sealcoated you will be required to park on the street for 3-4 days. This allows the sealcoat to properly cure.  THERE WILL BE NO VEHICLES ALLOWED TO ENTER OR EXIT THE CUL-DE-SAC.

Advantages of Jet-Black Crack-Sealing and Sealcoating:

Crack-Sealing: Jet-Black’s premium rubberized crack sealer is heated to 400 degrees and poured into structural cracks. This hot rubber is then carefully smoothed by hand and allowed to cool, effectively sealing the crack and safeguarding it from water penetration and freeze/thaw damage. The specialized rubber stays flexible even in harsh winter conditions, preventing splitting and further deterioration. For high-quality crack filling, there are no effective do-it-yourself alternatives.

Sealcoating: Jet-Black offers the highest quality sealant, expertly formulated with an ideal blend of additives tailored to our climate. Their industrial-grade pavement sealer slows damaging oxidation from the sun, prevents water penetration, and enhances appearance. Regular maintenance with Jet-Black can more than double the lifespan of your asphalt driveway.

Williamsburg Neighborhood Watch Joins the SafeCam Program

As part of the Williamsburg Village Neighborhood Watch program, we’d like to make residents aware of a great opportunity to help deter crime by adding another layer of security to our community.  

The Bloomington PD SafeCam program is a fantastic way to bolster community safety through collaboration between the Bloomington Police Department and our Williamsburg community. By voluntarily registering your security cameras – whether it’s a video doorbell, a full home security system, or any other surveillance setup – you can provide valuable information that can deter crime and aid in investigations.  

The SafeCam network allows police to quickly identify and contact potential sources of valuable video footage in the event of an incident, significantly broadening the leads available to solve crimes and enhance public safety.  

Participation in SafeCam is entirely voluntary and transparent, addressing common concerns about privacy. Registering simply informs the police department of the existence of a camera at a particular address and its general characteristics; it does not grant them direct access to your camera feed or personal information without your explicit permission. You will only be contacted if a crime occurs in the vicinity of your camera and a detective believes your footage might be helpful, at which point you have the choice whether or not to share your video files. 

This focus on voluntary participation and respect for privacy makes the Bloomington SafeCam program a powerful tool for building a safer community. If you have a home surveillance system we encourage you to join.

Fiber Optic Cable Coming to Williamsburg 

Comcast is actively installing fiber optic cable in West Bloomington, aiming to bring faster internet speeds to residents and businesses.  

We’re pleased to report they have completed the most disruptive part of the project with the installation of the underground cable throughout Williamsburg.  

This expansion is part of a broader effort by Comcast to upgrade its network and provide residential speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and business speeds up to 100 Gbps. As of this posting we don’t have a timeline for when this service will be available to residents. As we learn more we will post updates.

What are fiber optics? Thin flexible fibers of glass or plastic in a cable used to transmit light signals from one end of a cable to the other. These fibers are frequently used in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths than electrical cables.

Website Banners Feature Local Attractions

As you visit different sections and pages on the Williamsburg website you may have noticed banner images at the top of each page. The banners feature local attractions such as parks & preserves, areas for play & exercise, lakes for swimming, fishing, and relaxation. Many are just a short walk or bike ride from Williamsburg Village. No matter the season there are great opportunities.

Other Banners feature local celebrations, attractions and venues for concerts, farmers markets, nature centers and professional sports. The banners rotate so you may notice a different banner when revisiting the same page.

Living in Minnesota requires year-round activities. You’ll also find banners with winter activities minutes from your front door.

We hope you enjoy the banners and take time to explore the many wonderful spaces and events in our community.

Update on Emerald Ash Boer Eradication

Thanks to the cooperation of our residents, we’re pleased to announce our community is making steady progress on the removal of infected and dead trees.  60% of the diseased or dead ash trees have been removed. Of the remaining ash trees that must be removed approximately 20% have been scheduled for removal. If you have received a removal notice, please schedule the removal as soon as possible. Many tree removal companies are booked at least a month out. We will be monitoring the removals with the goal of having them all accomplished this Fall. 

In addition to ash trees there are several trees on the boulevard along Minnesota bluffs and in backyards that are dead and need to be removed. Most of these trees are pine trees or other non-ash species.

Tree Stump Removal

It’s important to remember stumps are part of the tree and must also be removed.  Many tree removal companies do not remove stumps but have relationships with companies that exclusively remove stumps and can help you set up the removal.  If you have removed a tree(s) in the past but did not remove the stump, you need to address the removal.  The expectation is to have no stumps remaining in the development.
