Support for Installing a Traffic Mirror at the Carriage Ridge Entrance
Final supporters
With the increase of new home construction in Harbor Club, traffic through the gate has increased immeasurably. Turning left safely out of our Carriage Ridge neighborhood has become more difficult with accelerating cars and blind spots, not allowing a clear view.
This has been an ongoing problem with discussions in the past from speed bumps, to flashing "slow down" signs. In all cases they have been denied by the Harbor Club HOA. Several years ago, shrubbery and trees were trimmed back with a minimal impact on improving vision.
We propose to install a polycarbonate 30 inch convex traffic mirror directly across from the Carriage Ridge entrance at the Polo Village entrance to the left of the stop sign. a 30 inch mirror aimed properly allows 160 degrees of viewing of oncoming traffic. This is turn will allow exiting left turning traffic a view of what is coming, prior to proceeding into the intersection.
We propose to collect signatures from our neighborhood showing support of the mirror then submit a normal Harbor Club HOA request for approval. The mirror will be funded by the Carriage Ridge HOA, with complete cost of mirror, post and installation not to exceed $ 300.00
Please take a minute, follow the instructions and sign the petition. We think this is a good solution to helping correct an ongoing safety issue.
Note: the picture below represents what the mirror will resemble and location. Image is not to scale.

I spent another morning watching the traffic pile up at our entrance and it is clear that we cannot keep rolling the dice on our safety. The board has been silent so far but your support is proof that this is a real problem our neighbors want solved.

The momentum behind this request proves that I am not the only one scared to pull out of our own driveway. It feels like we finally have the collective weight needed to show the HOA that this is a non-negotiable safety necessity.

Yes!!! Crossing my fingers this finally happens. It is so scary trying to turn left at peak hours.
Mirror is a good start but I believe we should also reengage the effort to add a speed bump
Long overdue. Thanks for getting this moving.
I’m sure we can get EMS and Greene Co Sheriff Dept to sign it too! They have all told me how dangerous it is even for them!
The entire Lavery household votes yes for this desperately needed safety feature!
Thanks.
Definitely needed!

Every time I pull out of there I feel like I'm taking my life into my own hands. People fly around that corner like it's a race track.
