Briarwood HOA Members,

Dear Briarwood HOA Members,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address an important concern regarding the safety of our neighborhood, particularly for our younger residents.

Recently, there was a tragic incident in Omaha where a young child was seriously injured in a scooter-related accident. This unfortunate event highlights the potential dangers associated with scooter and bicycle use.

In our own neighborhood, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of children riding scooters. While it is wonderful to see them enjoying outdoor activities, several Briarwood residents have reported close calls with children suddenly swinging out into the street while turning corners and generally being unaware of their surroundings, including cars and other children playing.

To ensure the safety and well-being of all our residents, especially the young ones, I urge us to speak with our children about safe scooter and bike riding practices. Emphasize the importance of being aware of their surroundings and following safety guidelines. Additionally, please remind them that wearing earbuds or using other electronic devices can increase the risk of accidents.

We’ve also recently received complaints about young children riding gas-powered ATVs or motorbikes in Briarwood. It is important to note that this activity is extremely unsafe and against the city of Council Bluffs law/ordinance. Ensuring that our children adhere to these regulations is essential for their safety and the safety of others.

Our primary goal is to prevent potential accidents and create a safer environment for everyone in Briarwood. By taking proactive measures and paying closer attention while driving in our neighborhood, we can avoid even minor accidents and maintain the safety of our community.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Let’s work together to keep Briarwood a safe and fun place to live.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation
