February 2011 Safety Committee Report

USAF Crosswalk Safety Message

  • Auto vs. pedestrian survivability at 25 MPH or less:  89%
  • Auto vs. pedestrian suvivability at speeds greater than 25 MPH:  11%
  • Pedistrians:  Be aware of your surroundings; don't assume drivers see you
  • Drivers:  Yield to pedestrians and don't driver faster than 25 MPH on FSR streets
The FSR HOA Board is considering adding crosswalk stripes at key intersections along Finesilver Dr.  Let's emphasize pedestrian safety now that walking and jogging weather is here.

Cellular on Patrol
Neighborhood volunteers conducted three scheduled patrols during February. One team noticed an open garage door late at night but was unable to alert the occupants of their vulnerability.

The COP would like your help. Report suspicious activity to SAPD.

Interested in joining COP? Call AMS (829-7202) or email FSRsafety@yahoogroups.com for more information.

Blue Armor Patrol Summary
On Thursday, 24 February at about 6:30 pm a resident approached a Blue Armor patrol officer to report a suspicious man with a knife at the playscape.  On questioning the "young adult," the officer learned the man was merely tending to his cigar with his knife.  The man agreed to be more discrete, especially in the presence of children.

Security officers attempted to slow FSR speeds by making their presence known on Finesilver Dr.  On Saturday, 12 February an officer observed five speeding violations and was able to stop three offenders.  The remaining two continued off the property.  One of the drivers cited was delivering pizzas.

Again, on Sunday, 13 February at about 6:45 pm a Blue Armor patrol observed a vehicle speeding and running stop signs on Finesilver Dr.  The driver did not stop but the license plate was recorded and a letter sent to the registered owner at an out of town address.

Finally, at about 1:00 am, Wednesday, 9 February a speeding driver eluded a security officer on FSR streets.  Rather than engage in pursuit, the officer posted at the gate to await the driver's departure.  As the speeder was forced to stop for the gate, the officer recorded the license plate.  Unfortunately, the plate did not return a current registration.

SAFD Responses
