On a side note here, my husband has noticed there is a correlation between vegetation overhang
onto our road and the formulation of pot holes on the road surface below the overgrowth.
Maybe it does not account for all the potholes but could trimming the overhang save us all some grief? Has anyone else noticed that?
Your husband's right in his correlation of overhanging tree branches and potholes Reni. Combine that w/lack of road material = potholes and dusty roads. The base coarse they're using to fill potholes is just a band aid = $$$ down the toilet. It's rough traveling over areas where they've dumped that substandard stuff, esp biking or walking on it.
The current GM commented at a board mtg last yr, concerned over the liability of lot owners doing maint work in the association's easements including vertical growth = potential association liability...that means our liability.
L Rd is a good visual example of identifying what easements owners are taking care of vs undeveloped lots that the board and GM are neglecting. Being a paved road vehicles travel faster, and in much narrower lanes due to overgrowth. While biking, a large dump truck traveled down the middle of the road this morning and I barely had room between me and the dump truck...it was scary. While walking the other morning it was a pick up truck traveling fast down the middle of the road and same situation of not being able to get off the asphalt onto the easement bc of the overgrowth. We have a lot of dangerous situations around the park bc of their neglect, and we the membership will be liable....
I went and looked at the newly CS'd 26th between Paradise and Makuu...it was so thinly laid. You can see loose gravel where there's inadequate thickness of emulsion in many areas. There's chunks of it already missing. Not even a month old...might even be in the 2 wk old stage...?? What a huge waste...over $80,000's worth for one mile. Think how many roads they could've laid road material down with that $, OR how many roads could've been restriped by now...
