Speeders - No sidewalks, early sunset and speeding are a dangerous combination. The FECA board contacted the Sheriff about speeders in our neighborhood and they have offered to help. They need to know the street location, time of day, and days of the week when we see recurring speeding. Please provide this information to board member Todd Brooks at [email protected]. More tips from the Sheriff include: *Always walk facing traffic. *Don’t focus on your cell phone while walking on the street. *At dusk and later, carry a light and wear reflective clothing so you can be seen. Break-ins - We don’t have many break-ins, but when they do occur, they tend to be opportunistic. The Sheriff advises: *Keep your garage door closed when you are not in or around it. *Do not put valuable items in your vehicle. *Keep your vehicle locked.
