4-way Stop Sign
Dear Residents,
Driving home last night at 8:30 pm was challenging, with visibility down to 20 feet or so through the fog and snow. It was hard to see the "Stop" sign at the four-way intersection at Traverse Ridge Road, SunCrest Drive, and Deer Ridge. Even in good weather, many of us have seen vehicles go through that intersection without stopping, some without slowing at all. This is a hazard for other motorists and especially for pedestrians trying to cross the intersection.
There have been accidents there before, and will be again unless something is done to increase the visibility of the "Stop" signs. I have asked the Draper City Council to consider installing flashing stop signs at that intersection (just lighted stop signs, not a traffic signal or overhead light). The Council is considering a solar-powered model, which may be cheaper to operate and easier to install than running underground electric cables to the signs.
The Council will be discussing this issue at their next meeting, this coming Tuesday beginning at 7 pm in the Council chambers at Draper City Hall on Pioneer Road. If you have an opinion regarding this proposal, please let me know or consider attending and speaking to the City Council during the citizen comment period. This is a chance to make our voices heard and ask Council members to respond to citizens' concerns.
In fact, the Council may not act unless it is evident that many of us support this proposal.
Thanks,
Barbara Blackmer

You can obtain the discount tickets at the Owners Association office Monday-Friday 8:00-5:00 p.m. There is no purchase necessary when you pick up the ticket.

Bus Stop at the Information Center
Volunteers that help direct traffic before and after school for the grade school busses need your help. Drop-off and pick-up at the Information Center has become very congested. It has made it difficult for the busses to enter and exit Village Green Circle and get the children to school on time. To help reduce the congestion, traffic volunteers ask that you treat the Village Green as a one way road entering from Traverse Ridge Road and exiting out Deer Ridge Drive. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Neighborhood Watch Program Update
In the happenings mailing on 9-25-09 we talked a little about Neighborhood Watch Programs. If you are interested in starting a neighborhood watch group for your neighborhood please visit the following website for instructions on starting www.draper.ut.us. Once on the website, select Public Safety then Police then Neighborhood Watch.
Fire Hydrant Snow Removal
The colder weather is here and the snow is close behind. Please remember that if you have a fire hydrant in front of your home you are responsible to keep it clear of snow by city ordinance. The city ordinance states that there must be a three-foot clear space around the circumference of the fire hydrant. For more information please see Draper City’s website at www.draper.ut.us.
“Good Night Chairs”
Now is a good time to be cleaning, covering, and storing your patio furniture and outdoor grill. If you can, get in that one last barbeque, but then safely shut off the propane tank, store the charcoal briquettes in a safe place, and learn to make S’mores inside. Be sure to drain any portable fountains, and carefully shut down your outdoor water features (or have a professional do so). Any leaks should be addressed NOW, before winter freezing has a chance to enlarge them.
