| The CFC portion of the MBA website is undergoing a complete overhaul; click for info. (Older pages can be found here.) As of the end of April, most of the drop-down menu links below do lead to pages with useful information, even if the pages aren't considered "complete". A few drop-down links merely serve as reminders to me of what pages still need to be developed... |

Summary of existing pineside traffic control measures, spring 2005:
Addy has a total of three. There is NO speed sign anywhere on Short. Short - 3 effective bumps Bayberry - 5 long bumps Errett - 2 long bumps Bridge - 2 effective bumps Addy - 3 effective bumps Evergreen - 2 ineffective bumps (under the control of, and occasionally patrolled by, the Town of South Bethany) This spring, the President received an eMail from a new property owner on Bayberry Road indicating that although they had hoped their children could safely ride their bicycles and play in the street, they had decided to pave their driveway because it was unsafe to allow them to bicycle in the street due to speeding cars. While new residents certainly do not control the neighborhood, their views are considered equally with all others. This is NOT the friendly, safe environment we believe Middlesex Beach should have. Early this summer, a communication was received from another Bayberry Road resident, suggesting that the Board consider more effective traffic control measures, noting the ineffectiveness of the existing humps. In conjunction with the paving of the commercial block of Addy Road in July, the Board had the paving contractor install 2 effective speed humps along Bayberry Road. Afterwards, the Board received several compliments, and only one complaint (that was shortly after the installation - before the asphalt had cured enough to apply yellow paint). At this time, a speed hump was also installed on Dune Road at Bayberry Road, which we feel has greatly helped control the speeding along the north end of Dune Road-we have received NO comments about this one, so it appeared that property owners accepted it as a necessary and effective measure. Additionally, a 15 MPH speed sign has been installed at the entrance to Short Road. Near the end of the summer, the Board received a communication from an Errett Road resident, noting the above inequality in traffic control measures on the pine side. Since the Board strives to treat the property owners along all streets equally, we agreed that Errett Road should be just as safe for pedestrians and bicyclists as the other streets in the community. The Community Facilities Committee recommended at the 9/3/05 Board meeting that traffic control measures (in the form of 2 effective humps) be installed along Errett Road, and the Board agreed. It was mentioned at the 9/3/05 Community Meeting that this would be done in September in conjunction with the paving of the south end of Dune Road and the oceanside block of Short Road. This elicited no reaction from those who attended the meeting. |
