Traffic & Safety Committee: April 2019 News

TRAFFIC AND SAFETY
A recent collision between a vehicle and a child’s bicycle that was left in the roadway serves to remind us to be alert and drive defensively. This is especially important now as the days are getting longer and vacation and school break times are coming up. After being cooped up through a long-wet winter, children will likely be outside running and playing with more exuberance than usual.
As it is a safety issue, as well as a rule, we have to ensure that our children are not using the roadway as a playground and that their toys such as bikes, skateboard ramps, and basketball hoops are not left out on the street.
Our parks and facilities are great places for our children to play as hard as they wish and use up some of that stored energy.
One last reminder: Guests using our facilities must be accompanied by a resident. This applies to the pool, bluffs and parks.
