Have you spotted people staring thoughtfully at the BSR gate lately? It may not be just because of the beautiful new paint job. It may be one of our Board members trying to come up with ways to ease and improve the access at our gate.

In recognition of some of the aging population in our community and as a way to better control access, the Board is researching electronic gates. It’s certainly not a new idea, but it’s one we are hoping can provide a more secure and convenient experience for all.

We have been speaking with multiple communities in the canyon to discover the pros and cons they’ve had with their electronic gates. Also, we are obtaining quotes from multiple vendors with the intent to use existing funds (i.e. no assessment!) to pay for the gate upgrade.

We are taking into consideration our winter conditions, ongoing costs, operational stability, backup access, remote control, and a plethora of other options. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us!
