Letter - Additional Parking, Speed Bumps

Dear Editor,

I am proud of the Tiara Times. It’s definitely more interesting than NST! Congrats. Would love to see pix of Tiaran personalities though.

I have just two issues:

1. Additional Parking

The idea of more parking bays is appealing but don't you think the charm and desirability of Tiara is that stretch of green bank? How lucky we are that even though we live in a condo yet we can still enjoy trees, monkeys, squirrels, birds and bees! Sometimes there is more to life than measuring everything in dollars and cents. I hope other options would be considered as the idea of a naked Tiara is just too awful for words.

I disagree as well that turning the green bank into a car park would prevent burglary. I live in two units (facing the green bank) and we had a record of 9 break-ins only—once from the sliding door, the rest through our main doors and windows, twice in broad daylight! It does not say much for security does it?

2. Speed Bumps.

I have nothing against bumps and I love a friendly and safe Tiara. But some of the bumps are not very friendly and have been scraping the undercarriage of my car relentlessly. Some bumps have been modified (after complaints) but alas to no avail. The belly of my car is still suffering. I beg someone out there to do something - pleeeeze!

Thank you.
