Public Right of Way Parking Management has received several complaints over the past few months about cars parking across the sidewalks in the community. This is primarily happening in the single family section of the property. We would like to remind residents that common sidewalks are considered public right of way. Blocking off the free movement of foot traffic can force someone into the street which could be dangerous. Please try to be aware of this problem and do your best to make sure that all vehicles parked in driveways don't extend over the common sidewalks. Thank you.
