Keep your guest list current. After the Summer Solstice on June 21, the hours of daylight will continually shrink as each day passes by. If we can go by past history, traffic flow into our community will do just the opposite for four months. In July, over 25,000 vehicles entered our community via the Mariner Gate. That is a lot of traffic for a … [Read more...]

Update Guest and Party Lists: With the summer season upon us we can expect more visitors than any other time of year.

Lock Your Vehicles I am sure that it has happened, but in the last seven years or so I haven’t heard of a thief breaking into a locked vehicle to steal anything.

More Law Enforcement Presence in the Shores As the result of complaints about serious traffic violations within the community, our deputy sheriffs have stepped up their patrols in our neighborhood.

October 30, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Citations—Ouch! — Just a few weeks ago a motorcycle deputy sheriff entered our community to monitor traffic. Within a very brief period of time, he noticed several violations in the vicinity of Mariner Drive and Niguel Shores Road. He subsequently issued four citations for failing to stop at a stop sign.

Traffic and Safety Committee Lock It or Lose It! Another unlocked car parked in our community was entered by a thief and a wallet was stolen last month. We have learned through the past few years that former and new “car clouts” generally do not force entry into vehicles any longer. The risk and increased penalty simply isn’t worth it. With the … [Read more...]
