URGENT: Sealcoat Update
The closed section of the roundabout has been open. But it won't stay that way for long, as we need to have that area redone thanks to a select few drivers who had a blatant disregard for the barricades blocking the road.
We need to make something very clear: BARRICADES MEAN DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH
Not only did our landscaping vendor move barricades to park and drive on the new sealcoating (we are working with them for damage reimbursement), but several homeowners decided barricades don't apply to them. One driver leaving Astor Farms Place decided to drive up on the grass in order to drive around the barricades, continuing on and driving right through the taped off exit.
It all defies common sense.
Furthermore, it all means the sealcoating has to be redone. So now, another closure on that side needs to happen. We haven't scheduled it yet.
The second phase of our project for the other side of the roundabout is still slated to begin next Wednesday, July 5th. That means the roundabout will be blocked at the entrance, and all traffic will enter *and* exit through the exit gate. You will not be able to access Cains Wren from the roundabout during this time. The side in yellow (pic below) will be blocked off from July 5th- July 7th.
The sealcoating vendor will now be using heavier barriers to make it (hopefully) impossible for people to drive through.
This project has taken a lot of time and effort to coordinate. The disregard by a select few drivers is affecting the entire community. We have cameras that clearly show the roundabout. We know who drove where and when.
DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH BARRICADES.
DO NOT MOVE BARRICADES.
DO NOT DRIVE AROUND BARRICADES.
