The Holiday Season is drawing to a quick close, and once “La Bafana” (who brings gifts to well behaved boys and girls from traditional Italian families) and the “Three Kings” or “Magi” (who give gifts to well behaved children hailing from traditional Spanish speaking regions) leaves our community on January 6th, the festivities are over. Hopefully, … [Read more...]

While at times it feels as though we are in still in the summer months, the Holidays associated with the winter solstice are quickly drawing close. As usual, following the post summer lull, we are already experiencing a rise in the number of guests entering our community, and there is no doubt that the visitation rate will steadily rise until … [Read more...]

Golf Carts or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles: This year has seen a marked increase in the number of these "golf carts" traveling about our neighborhood. Note: Virtually everyone in the Niguel Shores community operates what is technically a NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) which is not a golf cart. The law pertaining to driving a golf cart is far … [Read more...]

Mariner's Gate: If you normally enter or leave the community a the Mariner's Gate, you would do well to bypass it and enter at either the Selva or Cabrillo entrances. Taking this detour, especially during busy hours, will help you avoid frustrating delays and minimize the congestion during the construction phase of our new guard house. It should … [Read more...]

Shwazooki and Lock It! Rumors have been circulating recently about a series of thefts from unlocked cars and trucks parked in our community. The thieves typically open the vehicle’s unlocked door and take anything of value that might be inside.

The summer solstice has come and gone and we find ourselves in the midst of summer. In just a few days we will be celebrating the Fourth of July which will be the most festive day of summer in our community. We start off with what some believe to be the best pancake breakfast on the West Coast, followed by a colorful and fun parade that rivals any … [Read more...]

Running Stop Signs and Driving Habits: At a recent community forum, several residents expressed concerns about folks driving through intersections and not stopping for posted stop signs. I think we have all seen this in our community as we drive up or down on Niguel Shores Drive. Clearly a lot of us have become very familiar with the streets and … [Read more...]

Dogs on Leash: In researching this topic I learned that virtually every city and county in California has a leash law governing the control of unconfined dogs. The city of Dana Point has such a law, and our own HOA has a rule that virtually mirrors it. In essence, the law reflects that unless our dog is confined, it must be restricted by a leash no … [Read more...]
Traffic and Safety – Reported Crimes & Civility
February 28, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Reported Crimes: For quite a while now we have had no real crime picture or pattern in our community. Yes, on occasion something is stolen from an unlocked car, but other than that, there is nothing to lead us to believe that we are being preyed upon by any professional thieves or vandals. However, having said that, last month a car was reported … [Read more...]

Coyote Warning: We have had several new reports that a coyote is back in our community. Apparently, he is roaming the neighborhood just east of the ClubHouse at about an hour or so before sunset. Based on the reports, he might well be the younger of the two most often seen last year. If that is the case, he/she deviates from the normal nocturnal … [Read more...]
