2nd Time Resident Must Repair Fence In 2 Months

Things are getting a little wild over on Jonel Way. Parents are forbidding their children from crossing the road. Mt. Miguel Equestrian Center students are being instructed to keep a wide berth from the frontage of the property. Most likely riding your horse down the road is out of the question.

Jonel Way is shown with the green line. It comes off Proctor Valley Road,

just south of San Miguel Road and the 125 toll road.

Two months ago, kids racing down Jonel Way rolled their ATVs taking out the fence west of the second driveway. Not a safe scenario for humans, dogs and especially skittish horses.

This past Wednesday evening, it happened again. A parent leaving the baseball camp loss control of her car and drove into the east side fence of the same driveway. She hit it so hard she knocked down the post cemented in at the corner. She knocked the top railing off and buckled the top railing on the driveway entrance. She herself lost the front of her car and had to tie it back on (the parts that didn’t fit in the trunk) and limp her car home. How fast must one be driving down an un-paved, residential road to destroy a chain-link fence?

These photos were taken the following day, after the fence was hobbled together.

Shouldn’t the speed limit be about 15mph on a residential easement? Visitors to eastern parts of Jonel Way are using it like an airport runway and some are apparently actually taking off.

And about that baseball camp . . . it was closed down about a month ago by Code Enforcement. But according to the driver, she’s still taking her son there three times a week.
