The rushed decision to disallow the use of the cul-de-sac & alleyways for bike riding was made before thinking of all residents. This community was built and sold for growing families, which include children, and they need a safe place to ride bikes. The tot lot is geared for children 3-5 years of age, and not a safe environment for bike riding due to steep hills and close proximity of a large traffic circle.
Due to other concerns, the cul-de-sac is now video monitored by 2 cameras, which will allow for children and adults to be held responsible for any damages that occur. Since this new policy, parents are now aware of concerns of other residents that were not communicated and can be more aware and vigilant with children that are out there playing.
I prefer the sign that allows my children to be children and play in our neighborhood like normal kids. They are not breaking the law. People speeding in the neighborhood are the ones breaking the laws so display the signs that addresses the lawbreakers.
