NOTE: Volunteers are needed to help set up AND clean up afterwards in order to make this annual event a continuing success. Please continue to be a good neighbor!
PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR NEIGHBORS TO JOIN AND SUPPORT OUR UTOPIA HOMEOWNERS SECURITY ASSOCIATION! WE’RE STRONGER TOGETHER!
As a result of various complaints expressed at the Annual Meeting, our Utopia Homeowners’ Security Board contacted the corporate offices of both FedEx and UPS regarding concerns about their delivery trucks speeding in our neighborhood. Both companies were sympathetic to and understanding of the situation.
They advised and ordered the local Miami supervisors to specifically promise that they would instruct drivers making deliveries in our area to observe the speed limits and use extra caution on our narrow streets.
We believe this will somewhat alleviate the speeding we have been aware of for far too long. Your Utopia Board working for you!
