Hi Neighbors,
I'd like to take the opportunity in this month's newsletter to address (and hopefully improve) construction-related parking in Kent Woodlands. Projects on Evergreen, Rock Road, Diablo, and more have come to our attention as hazardous and frustrating situations resulting from the large number of vehicles parked for construction projects.
We understand that large projects increase construction-related traffic and parking needs, but this should be balanced with attention to safety and consideration for other homeowners. In an effort to improve traffic safety and for the sake of neighborliness, we ask that you follow these guidelines for any construction project you undertake (please pass along to your Project Manager or General Contractor, too):
- Ensure that as many construction vehicles as possible are parked on your own property (driveway, etc.).
- Have remaining sub-contractor or construction vehicles park tight to the edge of the road, taking care not to damage roadside landscaping.
- Follow all county parking regulations, including clearance requirements for emergency vehicles.
For those of you who are affected by these parking challenges, if you feel that there is an illegal or hazardous situation at any point, please call the Sheriff directly at 415-479-2311 and they will send our patrol deputy over to check it out.
The KWPOA doesn't have jurisdiction over the parking on our public roads, but we will do everything we can to help facilitate communication among neighbors, with the County (where we have recently been engaged with the Department of Public Works to attempt to remedy unsafe traffic and parking situations on narrow roads), and with the Sheriff's office, whom we have asked to step up enforcement against any illegally or hazardously parked vehicles.
Thank you and stay dry!
Sincerely,
Jeff Leh, President
