The camera's were set up because of ALL the times the gate was damaged and because of ALL the times people cruise through Town Lake who are either sightseeing or observing houses and families. We have had way too many hit-&-runs, break-ins, etc. not to have some sort of security monitoring system. True, it doesn't look all that pretty, but it is a reminder for people who want to do unpleasant things here that we are watching. Camera's are a way of life now - just as after 9-11, all security changed throughout the US and the world. Do we want to be safer or not?? That is the question you must answer. The BOD (me) pushed this through because I got tired of hearing about car break-ins and vandals. I want Town Lake to be a safe place for us and out kids. If that bothers some of the people here, then perhaps someone should reevaluate priorities.
