Over the past few years we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of vehicular accidents in the green belt in Landsdowne Loop. At first it was one every couple of years, then one every year, and over the past twelve months we’ve now seen multiple vehicles crash into the common area walking paths, landscaping, and lighting. 

 

We want to assure you this is a huge concern for the Board and community. The safety of members, kids, and pets in our common area is a priority. Here is what the Board has done and is doing:

Work completed over the past year:

-          Installed safety bollards to attempt to stop vehicles.

-          Added reflective taping to the bollards to make them easier to see at night.

-          Regularly repaired and reviewed bollard lighting in the area to make it easy to see.

-          Met with City representatives to speak about possible solutions.

o   City concluded the HOA has taken the right steps to try and curtail the continued damage.

o   City cannot address any roadway items on private property.

o   City will not make changes to signage or roadways that are public.

 

 Items Coming for Board Review:

-          Proposals for installation of sunken steel bollards

-          Proposals for installation of water wall barriers as seen and used on public highways

 

Ultimately, we understand there is a lot at stake here and while we were hopeful that countersunk anchored bollards would stop vehicles or at least slow them down, they’ve thus far been unsuccessful. We are looking at further options.
