What happened to the street cleaner? I used to see it once or twice a year. With all the money spent on landscaping, monuments, etc. it does not seem right to drive down streets covered with broken glass, trash, etc.
Take a look at Coachline between Silverbell and Twin Peaks. This does not give the impression that the people of Continental Ranch take any pride in their neighborhood.
The delivery of Explorer News on Wednesdays to every household, including those that do not wish to receive them and to vacant houses, results in an unsightly array of unwanted Explorers littering our neighborhoods weekly. Numerous unwanted Explorers remain in driveways, yards, and in the street for weeks. I’m suggesting that the Community Association adopt a change in agreement with the Explorer delivery to make it a subscription only service, or deliver only upon request. We do notice that they are not delivered in Sunflower to every household. This change would significantly decrease the amount of litter in Continental Ranch and improve the appearance of our neighborhoods.
I would love to see covered ramadas throughout our community with solar lighting. If there is an area open in Parcel 3 I would be thrilled.
Lighting:
I would love to see more lighting throughout Continental Ranch similar to that of Sunflower. Lighting does make things look nicer, but more importantly then that it adds security. You can see what is going on in these common areas as you are walking at night or as you are looking out your window. I would love to see lighting in front of every monument, at every pocket park, and a few more in the median entering every parcel -lighting up the landscaping. Let’s shed some light on our neighborhood.

It looks like this suggestion was posted way back in the summer, but I’d just like to reiterate it. How about getting a designated dog park in CR?
I think the whole community would benefit greatly from it. There has got to be space near one of the existing parks in the community where a secure area could be made. I think this is an issue that should be seriously considered by the board and taken to the Town for a look. It seems like every 4th house in CR has a dog, and those dogs and families would definitely reap the benefits of a designated, secure dog park area. The previous suggestion mentioned the dog park in Oro Valley as a great example.
Hopefully this is something the board will take a serious look at.

Add two seniors web links to your web site, as follows:
1. Senior Citizens/Retirees of Continental Ranch (SCRCR): A description of SCRCR club aims, activities, etc. can be found at www.geocities.com/scrcr02/.
2. A series of photos from SCRCR’s founding in 1994 until present is at http://picasaweb.google.com/scrcr1994.
My children truly enjoy the playgrounds, however it seems that the only benches to sit on near the playgrounds are always in the direct sun. It would be awesome to have shaded sitting areas.
I certainly hope that everyone read the WHOLE article about the “possible” fitness center that the Strategic Planning Committee wants to put up!! This center will cost each homeowner $2,000. as a one time assessment. I don’t know about anyone else but I think it’s the dumbest suggestion we’ve ever had. We have plenty of centers close by that people can use for a small fee. And then, on top of the one time assessment fee our association fees are going to go up to pay for staff and upkeep. I know that this is something that may be in the future, but PLEASE – write our management company and strategic planning committee to let them know that we do not want this center.
I would like to see a section on the web site where we could get parking permits. Instead of having to call it in. Sometimes it is alot quicker to use the internet instead of calling. Thanks
