We have a homeowner who is complaining because she leaves her home early in the morning and is afraid she is going to hit residents who are walking in the street. Our streets are private and controlled by HOA. We do have sidewalks, but people prefer to walk in the street because they are uneven where they hit the driveway cut-ins. This is not a maintenance issue - it's the way they are constructed. We have good street lighting. The streets are very narrow and in a car it is sometimes difficult to see around the bends in the road. However, we have sent out emails to residents warning them of the danger of walking in the streets and we are putting an article in the monthly newsletter. The board doesn't know what else we can do, but this homeowner keeps trying to tell us we have legal liability if she hits someone because we are refusing to take action. We told her we can't stop people from walking in the street. Her suggestion of the board and association staff patroling the streets in the morning is out of the question. I feel like we have done everything we can do - but the board president is trying to appease this homeowner. Any thoughts or comments?
