On Sunday morning, July 24, more than a dozen neighbors of the Oaks, St. Andrews Place, and adjacent streets gathered to “take back the stairs” by trimming overhanging hedges, cleaning up beer bottles and trash, and painting out graffiti.
The St. Andrews Walk – the public stairway linking Tyron Road with St. Andrews Place – has increasingly become a problem for surrounding neighbors and the community. The stairs have become a favorite hangout for drinking, drugs, and other nefarious activity. Tagging, litter, and loud, late night noise are relentless. Although police have stepped up patrols and made a number of arrests, the problems persist. The Oaks has been coordinating with the City and neighbors on St. Andrews on a long-term solution, including lighting and addressing an abandoned house adjacent to the stairs on Tyron Road.
Before and after the cleanup
The stairs now look great! But until there is a long-term solution, neighbors expect the graffiti and trash to return and so will be holding similar cleanup events every month or so. If you would like to be noticed for a future “take back the stairs” day, please email Adam Kear at ackear@gmail.com.
... but the 2011 Oaks Summer Picnic is already over. A good time was had by all, as is evident in this photo of the raffle price drawing. We'll do it all over again next year!Residents are apprehensive not only about the noise issue but especially about safety as apparently, some riders do wheelies a dozen feet from small children, and quite a few bikes produce ear-splitting back-firing sounds. Some riders seem to be unfamiliar with the concept of speed limits, and pass cars that slow down for the speed humps on Canyon Drive. If true, it’s behavior that endangers people's health in more ways than one.
In order to determine if this is actually a problem in The Oaks, we would like to hear from you. If you are concerned or affected by excessive noise or traffic safety issues caused by motorcycles, please send an email to motorcycle-noise@oakshome.org. Tell us where you live and what pattern of noise you are experiencing. - Thanks for your help!
Notwithstanding that some scofflaw had stolen or destroyed all of the signs announcing our Annual Meeting, the board of the Oaks Homeowners Association and about fifty members gathered in the American Film Institute’s Jack Warner Building on March 21st for our annual get together. Outgoing board president Bob Young introduced our new president, Caroline Schweich who chaired the remainder of the meeting. [continued here]
