President’s Message

Some important updates this month.

he 2024 annual meeting was well attended, with over 75 persons in
attendance. Topics covered at the meeting included discussions on Vacation
TRentals, License Plate Reader (LPRs), the upcoming Publix renovation, and
potential street closures.

The Board is in negotiations with Flock Safety to install six (6) new License
Plate readers at strategic high traffic locations to be determined throughout the
community. Bob Mayo has headed up this initiative for the Association. We are
hopeful the LPRs will be installed this summer. While they will not necessarily prevent
crime, they will help the police solve crimes. Lighthouse Point and The Landings
Tim Hernandez report good success with the LPRs, which will be linked to the Police Department and
President can identify cars registered to known criminals when they enter our neighborhood.
The Traffic and Safety Committee is also exploring possible funding sources
(sponsors and other.)
OFFICERS We have been working with the Publix developer who has proposed replacing the
Coral Ridge Publix with a two-story structure with parking at ground level and the
Tim Hernandez
President store above to redesign the dangerous intersection of NE 22nd Avenue and NE
33rd Steet, behind the Publix loading dock. Currently, traffic from the internal drive
Karen Polivka between the Coral Ridge Mall and Publix, several parking aisles north of the mall,
Vice President
and the Publix loading dock all come together at that point. This makes it unsafe for
Craig Singer vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists.
Treasurer
Amanda Foor from Commissioner Herbst’s office (Commissioner Herbst has been
Vicki Lynch very supportive of our concerns) and I met with the developer and his engineering
Secretary
consultant in mid-May at Dadeland to discuss design alternatives that would make
that intersection safer. We made suggestions regarding their latest plans and we
hope to have a new plan soon. Below is a picture of the proposed new Publix,
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
which will be 54,000 sf (the current Publix is about 50,000 sf). The proposed new
design of the intersection in question is shown on pg. 8.
