On July 12^th your Board of Directors started our speed awareness campaign on Paullus and Ridgemark Drives.  A total of ten signs were posted on our roads and we posted copies of these signs on our website as well as emailed them to our homeowners. Now five signs have been confiscated and some were taken off the personal property of some homeowners who wanted to cooperate with the program.  This is very disappointing. 

This program was approved at our May board and homeowners meeting and the board spent the time and money to have these signs developed and then placed on our roads. There have been positive comments to the board supporting the program and only one homeowner expressed negative comments. We paid for these signs from the RM XI funds and so stealing our signs is stealing from the homeowners of RM XI HOA.

If you have any knowledge of who may have taken these signs, please notify me or any other board member.  If you see anyone tampering with our signs, please notify any board member.

Also, if you are renting or leasing your home, you have the responsibility of notifying the occupants of the 25 MPH speed limit in Ridgemark.  We have had reports of speeders going to homes that are leased.  If your home is rented, it is your responsibility to make the occupants aware of the speed awareness program because they are not on our distribution list.  Or, you can provide the board with their names and email addresses so we can add them to the distribution list. 

As the Ridgemark XI HOA Board, our job is to listen to the concerns of our members and follow up with positive solutions. This Speeding Awareness Campaign is a response to the continued complaints about speeding we receive from our members and this speed awareness program is a reasonable solution aside from placing speed humps on all of our roads. Because of this we ask for our members support in continuing this positive solution. We know that many speeders are visitors or service businesses driving through our neighborhood and we want our 25 mph speed limit visible to all those who are either not aware or disrespecting of the posted speed limit.

We will continue this speeding awareness program and plan to replace the stolen signs. We have witnessed the positive effect of speeding awareness program. People are slowing down and observing the 25 MPH limit.  We appreciate your continued cooperation.

The Board of Directors has begun the Speed Awareness campaign we discussed at our May homeowners meeting.  We have posted signs on Paullus and Ridgemark Drives to make drivers aware of the 25 MPH speed limit in Ridgemark.  

Below is a copy of the sign:

Also, all visitors to Ridgemark will receive a handout at the guard gate reminding them of the 25 MPH speed limit.  Below is a copy of that handout:

The board is taking these actions in the hope that homeowners and visitors will become more aware of the 25 MPH speed limit and will slow down their driving speed to 25 MPH.

 We would appreciate any feed back you can give us as to the effectiveness of this program.  We are hopeful it will work and we do not have to take other measures such as speed bumps.

Thanks for your attention and cooperation!
