The Vision – HiddenValleyGuardians

We started Hidden Valley Guardians because we got tired of the drama and chaos on other neighborhood apps. Too many people were causing conflicts, spreading weird opinions, and getting censored for speaking their minds. We wanted a place where neighbors could focus on what really matters without all the noise.

Our mission is simple – we want to tackle the important issues that affect our daily lives in Hidden Valley. Things like weather alerts, hurricane updates, traffic problems, and keeping our community safe. We’re also staying on top of major local projects like the bridge situation and the golf course developments that could impact our neighborhood.

Key Takeaways

• We created a drama-free platform focused on real community issues that matter to Hidden Valley residents.
• Our group addresses important topics like infrastructure updates, safety concerns, and emergency preparedness.
• We encourage neighbors to join us so we can work together and stay informed about local developments.

Why We Started Hidden Valley Guardians

We got tired of the drama on other neighborhood apps. You know the ones – Nextdoor and similar platforms where people just argue all day. There’s too much conflict and too many people with weird opinions starting fights.

The problem is simple. People stay home all day, get frustrated, then hop online to make everyone else miserable. These apps even censor what we say, which goes against our rights as Americans.

We don’t care about hurt feelings when we share our honest opinions. We’re not here to socialize or make friends online.

What We Focus On

Our mission centers on things that actually matter to our community:

• Weather alerts – hurricanes, tornadoes, and severe storms
• Wildlife threats – animals that might hurt our pets
• Traffic problems – speeding cars and people running stop signs
• Infrastructure issues – like our bridge situation

Real Problems We Tackle

Take the bridge closure that hurt us for over a year. We had to drive all the way down to Dixie, wait through multiple red lights, and deal with railroad traffic. Every trip north took an extra 10-15 minutes.

The people on the other side loved having no traffic. But we knew they’d feel different if they had to make this detour every day.

We spoke up about the bridge problems. Now we see heavy equipment working and real progress happening. Our voices made a difference.

Our Community Approach

We stay focused on what matters most. When the builder wanted to develop the golf course, we rallied together as neighbors. We also work with the current owner to fix problems like:

• Power line issues during hurricanes
• Graffiti on entrance signs
• Drainage maintenance
• Property upkeep

There’s no drama here. We all work toward the same goals. No arguments, no nonsense, just neighbors helping neighbors solve real problems.

We handle urgent situations like hurricane warnings, break-ins, and dangerous driving at intersections like Brent and Country Club where people blow through stop signs.

Community Issues and Concerns

Content Moderation and Open Discussion

We’ve all used neighborhood apps like Nextdoor before. These platforms often have too much conflict and drama. People with different views clash constantly. The biggest problem is when these websites start censoring what we say.

We don’t like when site operators warn us before posting. They ask if we’re sure our comment won’t upset someone. We believe everyone has the right to share their opinions as Americans. If our views make someone mad, that’s still our right to express them.

Censorship goes against free speech. We hope these heavy-handed policies will end soon. Our community deserves a place where we can speak openly without fear of being silenced.

Drama-Free Neighborhood Engagement

Many neighborhood websites have become toxic spaces. They’re full of:

• People who stay home all day and get frustrated
• Residents who create conflict online
• Too many opinions that don’t help anyone
• Endless arguments that waste time

We want something different for our community. Our goal is to create a space with no drama and no nonsense. Everyone will talk about the same important issues. We’ll all work in the same direction.

We’re not looking to socialize or argue online. We want to focus on what matters most to our neighborhood. This means staying away from petty conflicts and personal disputes.

Focusing on Important Topics

Our community faces real issues that need attention. We should talk about things that actually affect our daily lives. These are the topics that matter most:

Weather and Safety:

• Hurricanes and tornado warnings
• Storm updates and preparations
• Power outages and recovery

Traffic and Transportation:

• People speeding through our streets
• Drivers running stop signs
• Bridge closures and detours

Community Safety:

• Wild animals that threaten our pets
• Break-ins and theft problems
• Suspicious activity reports

Local Projects:

• Bridge construction updates
• Road maintenance issues
• Community development plans

We need to stay informed about these real problems. When we work together on important issues, we can make a difference. Our community becomes stronger when we focus on what truly matters instead of getting caught up in pointless arguments.

Current Bridge Work and Community Roads

Construction Progress on Bridge Project

The bridge situation is finally moving in the right direction. We can see heavy equipment working every day now, which is a huge relief after months of delays. The workers are doing the right thing by resurfacing the whole bridge instead of just fixing parts of it.

When we drive by the work site, we notice tons of activity. The construction crew is tearing apart everything and starting fresh. This is exactly what we wanted to see happen.

How Construction Affects Our Daily Lives

Living in our neighborhood means this bridge closure creates real problems for us. We have to take a much longer route every time we head north.

Here’s what our current trip looks like:

• Drive all the way down to Dixie Highway
• Make a left turn onto the one-lane road
• Wait at every intersection for cars to clear
• Hit Linton Boulevard and wait through at least two red light cycles
• Deal with railroad traffic on Linton

This detour adds 10 to 15 minutes to every trip we make going north. Before the closure, we could hop right over the bridge and get to I-95 and shopping areas quickly.

The people on the other side don’t mind the closure since they have no traffic. But if they had to make our commute every day, they would understand our frustration.

Neighborhood Drone Monitoring and Resident Updates

Many neighbors are flying drones over the bridge to track the work progress. These flights give us great information about what’s actually happening on the construction site.

We’re seeing real progress through these drone videos. The footage shows workers actively resurfacing the entire bridge structure. This helps us stay informed about the timeline and quality of the work.

Reports from Transportation District Four

We’re getting good information from the transportation district offices in both Del Rey and Boca Raton. They’re talking to us and keeping us updated on the project status.

The communication has improved a lot compared to earlier in the project. We’re happy to finally get regular updates about the construction timeline and progress.

Community Safety

Vehicle Speed and Stop Sign Issues

We have a serious problem with drivers speeding through our neighborhood. The intersection at Brent and Country Club is especially dangerous. Cars blow right through that stop sign without even slowing down.

I’ve had to swerve onto the grass several times to avoid getting hit. This isn’t just annoying – it’s putting all of us at risk. We need to stay alert and report these dangerous drivers when we see them.

Animal Threats

Wild animals are killing our pets in the neighborhood. This is a real concern that affects many of us. We need to watch out for dangerous wildlife that could hurt our cats, dogs, and other animals.

Key Safety Tips:

• Keep pets indoors when possible
• Stay alert during walks
• Report any dangerous animal sightings right away

Criminal Activity Updates

We’ve had problems with thieves breaking into homes in our area. These crime waves come and go, but we need to stay on guard. Home break-ins are happening more often than they should.

When we work together and share information quickly, we can help keep everyone safer. Watch for suspicious activity around your neighbors’ houses too.

Important Safety Actions:

• Report any suspicious people or vehicles
• Check on neighbors when something seems wrong
• Share crime alerts with the community right away

Golf Course Property Updates

Neighborhood Meetings This November

We have an important meeting coming up in November that you won’t want to miss. The golf course owner plans to share new information with us and our attorneys will be there too. This meeting matters a lot because the golf course affects our whole neighborhood.

The information they share could really impact Hidden Valley. We need to stay informed about what happens with this property.

Effects on Our Community

The golf course plays a big role in Hidden Valley’s future. What happens there could either help us or hurt us as a neighborhood. That’s why we need to pay attention and stay involved.

When the builder wanted to develop that land before, we all came together as neighbors. We rallied and stopped the project because they weren’t being honest with us about their plans.

We also let the golf course owner know about our power problems. When hurricanes hit, trucks can’t reach the area easily. We lost power for seven days, then another hurricane came and we lost power for seven more days. The power company had to bring a special tracked vehicle from Louisiana to fix the poles.

Working Together on Property Care

The woman who owns the golf course has been taking care of the property. She keeps the power poles maintained and handles the drainage system that helps our neighborhood. We appreciate her efforts.

Recent improvements include:

• Trimming overgrown areas
• Removing waste from the property
• Painting over graffiti on the stone sign at the entrance

The entrance still needs work, but it looks better than before. Code enforcement helped when the first paint job washed off after 24 hours. They came back and painted it again.

We know this property is a burden for the owner. She’s not happy with the situation either, but she’s doing her best to maintain it properly. The drainage work she does is important for Hidden Valley’s water management.

Storm Readiness and Power Loss

What We Learned from Previous Hurricanes

We faced some tough times during recent storms. Our neighborhood lost power for seven days straight during one hurricane. Then another storm hit right after that, and we were without electricity for another seven days.

The main problem was that FPL couldn’t get their trucks into our area easily. They had to bring in a special tracked vehicle all the way from Louisiana just to fix the power poles and get our lights back on.

These back-to-back outages taught us that we need better ways for utility crews to reach us. When trees fall and roads flood, regular trucks can’t make it through to restore power.

Our Partnership with FPL

We made sure to tell FPL about the access problems in our area. During our community meetings, we explained how their trucks couldn’t reach the downed power lines.

The golf course owner has been helpful with utility access. She keeps the power poles on her property in good shape. This makes it easier for repair crews to work on the lines when storms damage them.

Key points we shared with FPL:

• Truck access is limited during storms
• Special equipment may be needed
• Golf course property can provide alternate routes

We want to keep talking with FPL before hurricane season starts. This way, they can plan ahead and bring the right equipment if we lose power again.

Fixing Water Flow and Roads

The golf course owner takes care of part of our neighborhood’s water drainage system. She maintains the areas that help water flow away from our homes during heavy rains.

Our bridge project caused big problems for emergency access. When it was closed, we had to take long detours to get anywhere. This made it harder for repair crews and emergency workers to reach us quickly.

The new bridge work is moving forward now. We can see heavy equipment working every day. The crews are redoing the whole bridge surface, not just small parts of it.

Current infrastructure improvements:

• Bridge repairs are active
• Drainage systems are maintained
• Better access routes for emergency vehicles

We use drones to check on the bridge progress. This helps us stay informed about when it will be finished. FDOT District Four gives us updates from their offices in Del Rey and Boca Raton.
