DRIVING IN RAINTREE VILLAGE<br />
Our community has grown significantly over the past year. Moreover,<br />
our community has numerous homes along our main street, <strong>Raintree</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong>. With such growth, it’s important that we’re more cognizant<br />
of our speed while driving through <strong>Raintree</strong> <strong>Village</strong> and parking on<br />
community streets.<br />
I’m sure everyone has noticed increased congestion along with cars<br />
parked along various streets within our community. However, it’s important<br />
that all of us adhere to the speed limit and encourage others<br />
to do the same.<br />
The following tips serve as a reminder for driving & parking in our<br />
community:<br />
1. Drive the speed limit - 35 miles per hour<br />
2. Do not block your neighbor’s driveway<br />
3. Make sure you park in the direction of traffic when parking on the<br />
street<br />
4. Make sure you park within 18 inches from the curb<br />
5. Remain mindful if the street is narrow, street parking impose greater<br />
limitations for emergency vehicles<br />

Finally, we must be mindful that emergency vehicles are wider than<br />
personal vehicles. Some community streets impose greater limitations<br />
for emergency vehicles when there’s street parking. Although residents<br />
have the right to park on the street, let’s be mindful of the aforementioned<br />
tips.<br />
TIPS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BURGLARY<br />
It cannot be stated enough of the importance of minimizing our exposure<br />
to crime. Our contract deputies stated that certain vehicles have<br />
increased exposure to theft, specifically the tires and rims. The vehicles<br />
commonly targeted are Ford F150, Dodge Chargers and Chevy Tahoes.<br />
Although these vehicles have rim locks, another safeguard is to park<br />
your vehicle in the garage or close to another vehicle. Anyway, you can<br />
either slow down or cause attention will help reduce the risk of theft.<br />
You need to be mindful to breakdown bags and boxes of large purchases,<br />
if possible place in trash bins or bags. Although it’s time consuming<br />
and burdensome, it doesn’t call attention to such items in your home.<br />
The list below simply reminds us of other things we should be mindful<br />
each day.<br />
1. Take the time to meet and know your neighbors. Let them know if<br />
you notice anything unusual such as cars or people at their homes.<br />
2. Make sure to close garage doors when at home & away.<br />
3. Don’t keep garage door openers in the car, take them in the house<br />
with you; a garage door opener makes it easier for someone to enter<br />
your garage or house to remove personal property.<br />
4. Keep car doors locked and take valuables either in your home or<br />
ensure the items are not in plain site; remember to take down the attachment<br />
for your Garmin too, as it alerts individuals that something<br />
valuable may be in the car.<br />
5. If possible, keep a car in a driveway as it gives an impression that<br />
someone is home.<br />
6. Keep all shrubs and plants at a level low enough that passing by officers<br />
or other residents can see if someone is lurking in those bushes!<br />
Shrubs should also be trimmed high enough to show “feet” of someone<br />
hiding in them.<br />
7. Have keys in hand before leaving the store, house or office, avoiding<br />
standing by the car searching for them.<br />
8. Don’t leave ladders on the side of the house or in the back yard.<br />
Ladders provide easy access to open second floor windows and no one<br />
will be able to see.<br />
