Do I let it go or do I get 40 signatures?

3. Traffic flow report – The report identified that:

a. If the flow is changed then all access including golf buggies and other vehicles such as scooters, push bikes etc. would be by Air key.

MS.   Leave swiper post where it is but reprogram to open left garage gate and erect another one in the garden on the west side of garage entry.

b. There are 8 units that have not purchased Air keys.

MS.   Fine, some of them probably do not have cars.

c. If the decision for all access by Air key was made, allocation to these units would cost $520.

MS.  Irrelevant, just like when you tore down 30 of our free afternoon coffee/tea notices.

d. There may then be a request from some unit owners who have paid for Air keys to be reimbursed for their costs – an unknown quantity.

MS.   Say No.  owners paid out over $20,000 for camera equipment and then they were told that there would be one security camera streaming to their apartments, we had ten!

e. There would have to be Air keys purchased and provided for regular contractors who access the building (estimated at 13 such keys – cost $845).

MS.  Tradies usually make an appointment with the committee member in charge of the mobile phone or they can use the newly erected swiper post.

f. The estimated cost to repaint the 6 arrows including a black bitumen based paint over the existing ones would be $600.

MS.  If we are driving on the legal side of the driveway we would not have to repaint arrows, we have volunteers that could paint the pointy end of the arrows out?

g. Relocation of the swiper post would have to be considered. Logically it should stay where it is. This could create an unsafe situation for those residents who access the building using shopping trolleys or walkers as they would be walking into oncoming traffic. At present they are going with the traffic (a safer option).

MS.  If you were concerned about residents safety, you would have included a ramp to the front entry when Foyer was being renovated/ refurbished.

RESOLVED to accept the report recommendation that no change is indicated at present.    

NOT RESOLVED Did you ask the owners?  It is not up to the committee to change the traffic conditions, it is the owners decision and 9 votes from the committee does not make a majority vote.

From our balcony we see cars entering the parking area on the west side of the driveway and residents leaving on the west side of the driveway, potentially leading to a head on collision.
