MTS TROLLEY SIGNAL WORK & NOISE IMPACTS

We have been notified that MTS will be performing the removal of some legacy signal equipment and installing new signal technology. The area that will be affected by the work zone is located between Broadway, Ash, Kettner Blvd, and India Streets. This work will impact the Blue & Green trolley lines. Preliminary work has been underway for the past few weeks, and the intensive construction phase is scheduled as follows:

Dates: Wednesday, August 19, 2026, to Tuesday, September 01, 2026

Daily Hours: Nightly from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM starting tonight after 1am

Due to required operational restrictions during construction hours, trains will be utilizing horns when passing through the area in compliance with the MTS Roadway Worker Protection Plan. Since the signals are impacted, there is a protection order for safety until the new signals are in place. During the day, there will be workers to help with the crossings for all the trains. MTS says it will make every practical effort to minimize operational restrictions and limit noise disruption during the project.

GO PAPERLESS – SAVE MONEY AND HELP YOUR ASSOCIATION

Did you know you can receive your monthly assessment statement electronically instead of by mail?

By enrolling in eStatements through the homeowner portal, you will receive your assessment statement faster, have convenient access to your records anytime, and help reduce costs for the Association.

Currently, printing and mailing a paper statement costs the Association approximately $2.00 per statement, plus postage, while delivering the same statement electronically costs $0.50. As printing and mailing expenses continue to increase, every resident who switches to eStatements helps reduce unnecessary operating costs. Signing up is quick and easy! Simply log into the homeowner portal and access the “Statements” section. From there, click “Manage eStatements”.

Need assistance? We are happy to help! Stop by the Management Office during normal business hours, and Alma or Carlos will gladly walk you through the enrollment process and ensure your account is set up correctly.

PLEASE BREAK DOWN YOUR BOXES!

A quick reminder to all residents: please break down cardboard boxes before placing them in the recycling bins.

Flattening boxes helps maximize available space inside the bins, prevents overflow, and keeps the recycling area organized and accessible for everyone. Large, unbroken boxes can quickly fill containers, leaving less room for other recyclables and creating unnecessary clutter around the collection area. Thank you for your help on this.

POOL & SPA FACILITY REMINDERS
To help ensure that everyone can safely and comfortably enjoy your pool and spa area, please review and follow the rules below. These are intended to keep the facilities safe, clean, and enjoyable for all residents and guests.
