Neighbors, not the association

Note: this is not the official site of the Colee Hammock Homeowners Association. It is a page by neighbors who live here.

Save our streets.

The City closed SE 17th Ave at Las Olas. It has also studied making SE 16th Ave southbound only from SE 2nd Street to Las Olas. Close one street and all that traffic moves to the others: SE 15th, 13th, 12th, 2nd Court, 2nd Street, 1st Street. Two petitions to the City Commission, one for 17th Ave and another for 16th Ave. Sign both. It takes a minute.

The City's own records: 169 crashes on SE 15th Ave in ten years, 1 on SE 17th Ave.

Sign the petitions to be heard now. Join the HOA to have a say in what it tells the City from here on.
