County Traffic Advisory Meeting Postponed

By -
[Update: Not on May 12 meeting agenda]

The next traffic advisory meeting will not have Mauna Loa stop signs on the agenda. We are going back, possibly in June to try again to get more stop signs on Mauna Loa to slow the traffic. We are going to ask for two more and hope to get one.

Here's the question for you: Where do we want the signs?

Please pick two from these choices: Mauna Loa & Luzon or Mauna Loa & Fiji or Mauna Loa & Suva.

We need at least one sign placed between the one on Friendship and the next one on Luawana, in order to shorten the distance between signs that allows drivers to pick up speed.

If we can make a decision at the upcoming meeting I will compose a letter that includes our request for the stop sign placement to present to the board at the next meeting. If you wish to e mail the Traffic Advisory meeting with your concerns on this issue it would be helpful.

Thanks for your help. See you at the next meeting.

Respectfully,
Judy Johnson

Water Moccasin or Water Snake?

At the Lakeview Park Clean-Up, some residents were picking up some branches of a tree when a dangerous Water Moccasin slithered out and dashed into the water. It might be useful to know one when you see it, but the differences between the venomous Florida Water Moccasin (or Cottonmouth) and the wholly harmless Water Snake can be subtle. Here are a few images and links that might help. First, here's a Water Moccasin Another shot of a Water Moccasin (click for a huge image): Here's the plain old harmless Florida Water Snake: Another clue (thanks Ray): When in water, Water Moccasins move on top of the water - almost as if they were gliding on the surface, like this: Water Moccasins are to be met with extreme caution. "When a moccasin is nesting or has her young in their nest it will aggressively defend that area," says Ray. "Moccasins have aggressively attacked people." Water Snakes tend to be partly submerged, partly out of the water, more like this: Click f...
