Speeding and Running Stop Signs in Canterwood
The HOA has received multiple complaints about Speeding cars within Canterwood, and also incidents of cars running Stop Signs. We are making some immediate changes to our enforcement in an effort to reduce the problem.
 
Speed Trailer
The Speed Trailer will be moved more frequently and to areas of high complaints. Sometimes an owner’s permission might be necessary for placement because of the width of the street or visibility, but if you are affected you should be willing to grant that permission.
 
Use of Security Guards and Radar Gun
We will use our security personnel, on a daily basis, with the radar gun. The truck will be parked, and the guard will stand with the radar gun aimed at oncoming cars, recording the license plate number of speeders This will occur randomly and in in spots of complaints. Security will also be stationed at certain stop intersections where there have been problems.
 
Have a complaint about speeding?
Call the HOA office at 253-851-6158 or Security at 253-851-8592. Describe the problem and let us know what time of day it is occurring, so we can better handle it. Also if you have ideas, let us know.

More Speed Bumps?
We are gathering more information/statistics on the placement and effectiveness of Speed Bumps. The two we installed in 2017 (one on Baker Way and 1 on Foxglove) cost $8,680. Some people feel that it wouldn’t be an efficient use of our money.
 
Parents - Please inform the young drivers
in your household of this speeding policy!!
 
Thank you for your cooperation,
The Canterwood Homeowners Association Board of Directors

Dear Canterwood Residents,

The time has come to update our visitor management system and begin using a program called DwellingLIVE. This will replace our current CapSure System. The HOA office has sent out welcome letters to all the residents with your one time registration code. Below is the printable user guide if you need some assistance once you have gotten yourself logged in and set up.

As DwellingLIVE ramps up Meleanie and Jennie will be available in the HOA office Monday- Friday from 9:00 - 4:00PM. They can help answer any question about the software or how to use the software.
 
This will be a learning curve for everyone but we are confident that the adjustment to  DwellingLIVE will be uncomplicated. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in making this successful.

Sincerely,

The Canterwood HOA Board of Directors
