Visibility Issues

A neighbor brought up some issues at the last Board meeting. Trees are blocking the light from the street lights at night in some of our yards, and overgrown shrubbery that extends into the street makes it difficult for walkers to get out of the way of oncoming cars. I looked at my street light on my way home from the meeting, and sure enough, I'm guilty. Perhaps your trees also need trimming back from the streetlight, or your bushes have matured and extend all the way to the curb. Check it and take care of it, won't you? I'm doing mine this Labor Day weekend.

Traffic

Cars running the stop sign at Overbend Trail and Oakwood Hills Dr:  We've had some recent near- misses! Gwinnett PD has been made aware of the issue. You just might find you or a family member getting a ticket in your own neighborhood. Also, pass this along to all of your family's visitors. OBEY THAT STOP SIGN!

Speeding. Same deal. Everybody — visitors and residents — slow down! A family pet was recently killed on Oakwood Hills Dr by a speeder. We've lots of kids and adults out on the street, running and walking. This is another reason not to park on the street, so someone doesn’t run out from between parked cars.
