Near-miss on High Point roads and operational questions prompt safety reminders and updates
Summary
A 6:30 p.m. near-miss involving three cars and a prior walker strike on High Point Blvd. prompted organizers to urge reflective clothing and walking against traffic; members also discussed a passed tractor ballot item, streetlight ownership, a maintenance complaint and Lions Club services.
Residents at the Feb. 6 meeting raised safety and operational concerns. Secretary Jean Albano relayed that there was a near-miss at about 6:30 p.m. involving three cars — one reportedly going the wrong way — and reminded walkers to wear reflective clothing, use reflective gear for pets and walk facing traffic after recounting a previous incident on High Point Blvd. in which a walker was struck and hospitalized.
During open forum a homeowner asked whether the association could convert streetlights to solar. The association responded that the streetlights are owned by the electric company and a new contract cannot be negotiated by the HOA; residents were asked to report lights that are on during daylight hours. A resident asked about a ballot-approved tractor; the secretary said the tractor measure passed in the December election but the equipment has not yet been ordered.
Attendees also reported a complaint about the maintenance crew and were directed to speak to Ray Thomas after the meeting about motorhome-related issues. Separately, Lions Club representatives announced a new service offering hearing aids and said the club continues to provide glasses and sunglasses to the community.
Angie Vacca moved to adjourn; Marlene Allen seconded, and the meeting closed at 1:27 p.m.
