North gate damage and the bad accident on 101 yesterday.

Ken,
Thank you and Shawna for your extra efforts yesterday on managing the traffic that was trying to get around the horrific accident yesterday and having our north gate down. I have received several thank you from other members and I thought I would share some of those those with you and our Board/Committees that do not monitor our social media. This is what community is all about, supporting each other.

On Sunday March 6th at approximately 10:07 am the north gate was hit by an individual ( male) traveling with a resident of surf pines. The gate arm was severely damaged and wiring severed . I will be ordering a new arm from metro on Monday the 8th of March and depending on scheduling by metro I would anticipate receiving it by Wednesday the 10th . I will install a back up arm minus the lights on Monday ( lights are back ordered) . The individual did locate me with resident shortly after incident and apologized for stupidity and will make sure we will be reimbursed for all damage . I anticipate the north gate being back to normal around the 12th of March. Thanks everyone

Thank you Ken and wife for directing the massive amount of traffic during the gate repair and the crash on 101. There were probably aleast 100+ cars just during our drive through the Northgate, that tried to avoid 101 and cut through the neighborhood, Ken and his wife were manually acting as the gate, waving surf pines residents through and turning non residents around. WAY TO GO, SO HAPPY TO HAVE KEN!!
Chris and Misty
