PEAK SEASON REMINDERS Peak season in the resort is upon us, soon our roadways will be crowded with walkers, bikers, golf carts, and motor vehicles. To ensure the safety of our residents please consider the following items: SPEED LIMIT: The speed limit in the resort is 10 mph , including the driveway approaching the entrance gate. This limit applies to all vehicles, including golf carts and bicycles. California DMV rules apply in the resort, including requiring a valid driver’s license to operate a vehicle or golf cart. Practice keeping your speed down using the new warning signs around the resort. STOP SIGNS: Please, again, these signs apply to all vehicles including golf carts and bicycles. WALKERS: Persons walking should stick to the left side of the roadway so you can see approaching vehicles in your lane. Walk single file when vehicle traffic is in your immediate area. BICYCLISTS: Ride on the right side of the road, in single file when vehicles approach from either direction. BE COURTEOUS: Be aware of your surroundings, if you stop to chat with someone, move yourself, your golf cart, or your vehicle to the edge of the roadway to allow easy passage of others. BE VISIBLE: When walking or biking at night, carry a lit flashlight or ensure your bike is equipped with a light that is visible from the front and rear. Check that your golf cart lights (front and back) operate, and use them whenever out at night. LOT LIGHTING: To aid nighttime traffic and security, wrap your roadside palm trees with LED type light strings. These really provide additional lighting in our very dark resort. Remember it is a rule that your lot number be illuminated, so check that these come on after dark. Our lot numbering scheme is confusing at best; having them illuminated eases the task of emergency responders or your visitors in finding a specific lot. S TEPHEN F RIDLEY Chair
Hello everyone. As you can see the month of November has been pretty quiet in comparison to this time last year. I compared the statistics from last November and the numbers are staggering. Last November was our worst month in which we had 13 stolen bicycles, among other things. As you can see, only 2 were reported this year and they were left unsecured. I credit this to all of you because you have taken extra precautions in securing your possessions. You may also notice that we have had much more success this year in catching trespassers. I believe this is due to the fact that they have less available options when attempting to commit a crime of opportunity. You, the residents, have taken away their easy targets which makes them have to stay on property longer and search for something to steal. This gives my staff and I more opportunity to catch them, which we have been having some success in doing. Though two bicycles is a low number in comparison, it is still two too many in my eyes. My staff and I will continue to try and bring these incidents down even lower with your continued assistance. Again, I thank you for your help in providing a safe and secure environment here at Outdoor Resort. Happy Holidays. C OREY S ATHER P OST C OMMANDER PostCommander@ .com
