Around the neighborhood Resident Entry Lane
Street Lights
As you may have heard at recent board meetings or read in meeting minutes there is a project in development to add a resident only entry lane at Harbour Point. This new lane will provide easier access to residents during daytime hours, and it will improve security after gate attendant hours by incorporating fast acting gates where non-residents will no longer be able to tailgate in behind residents after hours. Upgrades in technology will also give residents new and more efficient ways to make sure their invited guests and vendors have access to the community while better restricting everyone else. Keep your eyes out for progress coming this Spring!
You may have noticed some changes around the neighborhood after dark. Last Fall Jackson EMC began a project negotiated by HPCA Board Member Leesa Stoner to change out all the Harbour Point street lighting to LEDs. Jackson EMC had begun using brighter and whiter LEDs anytime a street light would burn out, so we were beginning to see a mixture of colors throughout the neighborhood. Instead of having a mixture of older yellow and newer whiter lights, Leesa convinced them to do a complete changeout of the neighborhood at no cost! Along with the changeout we are also adding lights in a few locations that have always been dark. The project is being done in phases and as their time permits in between storms and other emergencies that take precedence. After a phase has been completely converted to LEDs and residents can see how that impacts the lighting in the area, additional lights are proposed and residents are given time to provide feedback before new lights are installed. The new lights provide for better safety through increased visibility at night, and they really make the community have a more current feel. Phase 1 which was Silver Brook Lane and the adjacent streets is now complete with a total conversion to LEDs as well as the addition of 6 new poles. Thanks, Leesa!
Pool Upgrade Upgrades are coming to the Harbour Point pool this season. The first major change is the conversion of the pool to a salt water disinfecting system. This method of disinfection is the preferred method used in virtually all new pool installations. The conversion to salt water is scheduled for March. Another minor upgrade is the addition of four portable umbrellas on rolling bases. Two of these were obtained toward the Call they todaymight for a free end of last summer to see how useful be. on-siteinestimate! They were a huge success being always demand, so this summer expect more “portable shade” to be available in addition to all the fixed umbrellas that will Expires 3/31/19 still be available at every table.
