Maintenance Committee: March 2021

Bike Racks
Keen eyes may have noticed newly installed stainless steel bike
racks at the entrance to the Community Center.
As usual, this was not the result of just one committee but a collaboration of several. One of the many changes resulting from the pandemic was the
rapid increase in the use of bicycles of every shape and form including the burgeoning use of electric models. (Am I the only one who still thinks it odd to see someone moving so fast and not pedaling their bike?) This trend was
first noticed by the Ad Hoc Recreation Committee who suggested adding bike racks in the community. This recommendation was passed to The Board, who asked staff to research and develop a proposal to
install them at the Clubhouse. George Cooley, our head of Maintenance,
recommended the stainless steel style, then reviewed proper placement, spacing, and location. Once approved by the Board, the racks were installed
by our Maintenance Staff.
Besides looking nice, the racks securing your valuable modes of transportation are “in-camera view” of the security system so we have the video if ever a bike goes missing from there.
Cabrillo Isle Gate
A landscaping beautification at the Cabrillo Isle entrance gate began January 4. The project involved removing the existing plant material from the planter and along the wall that separates Niguel Shores from the Ritz Carlton. Sounds easy, but the wall-clinging shrubs left a great deal of residue and the newly exposed wall required power washing and painting for a fresh look. Harvest Landscape then came in with plantings and mulch. Take a walk, a bike, or drive by. It looks great! All projects to keep our community “Extremely Well Maintained!”
