I Sent an e-mail to all the officers with a suggestion on something we can do about the Fence situation with the Golf Course and our "good" neighbor Mr. Waldmen, here it is:

from:Bob Rivera Thu, Aug 9, 9:27 PM

to Dave, vicepresident1, vicepresident4, vicepresident2, vicepresident3, ucorecsec, ucocamone

Here's a thought....

Since the "good neighbor" at the golf course wants to endanger the people of the village by tearing down

 the fences, and  it will take time to get permits and all the things needed for new fencing to be put up on

OUR side of the property, 

Why not give this idiot and HIS neighbors something to think about... Organize a protest march in front 

of HIS home. 

As long as you keep moving, even back and forth, it should be legal. 

He wants to inconvenience us, I say let's show him what the Gray Brigade of Century Village can do.

The publicity may make him think things over. Do this daily, invite the press, and hopefully this so-called

businessman will make the National news.

I will gladly help make signs, t-shirts. All it takes is a silk screen kit from Jerry's down the street. 

I was going to post this online, but thought I better run it by all of you first. 

Respectfully Submitted,

Bob

Please pass it on .

Speed Tables VS Speed Bumps

I have asked at the Delegate Assembly to get Speed Ramps put in place at various locations throughout the village. There is an ever increasing problem with people speeding, especially in season. I have met with some resistance to the proposal, although most agree it is needed.

The argument that that the Emergency Services object because "what if someone is having a heart attack and they need to run av IV line..." If a patient is in need of running an IV line, IT IS DONE AT THE SCENE BEFORE the vehicle is moved, as anyone with any Medical training would know.

Another part of the argument was the sudden jolt while speeding away to the hospital...
An ambulance does not get carte-blanc on speeding just because they have red lights and a siren. They also obey speed laws:
An ambulance on an emergency or non-emergency call shall not exceed the posted speed limit, unless specific approval of each such excess speed is given by the police department. Upon approval, an emergency run may be made at not more than 15 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

The current speed bumps around the village are approximately as in Fig. A. When rolling over them, you get the sudden jolt if you do not drastically slow down, which may cause damage to your vehicle as well as cause a patient to fly out of a gurney if not strapped in properly.

My proposal for speed tables with the dimensions as above in Fig B would  provide vehicles with a smoother ride whilst making the driver slow down, without the sudden jolt.

If put at most crosswalks as I propose, it also provides drivers with a visual crosswalk that can be seen at all times as the rise would be painted either a Reflective Safety Yellow or White as well as having the traditional stripes of the crosswalk.

This is a Safety Issue that NEEDS to be addressed. Most at the Delegate Assembly Agreed when it was voted on months ago.
