Important Safety Reminder From Geist Patrol!

While, to this point, no burglaries have been reported in GHPOA, Geist Patrol has notified us that a group of professional burglars is active in the surrounding area.

We are urged to take the following precautions:

• Immediately report all suspicious vehicles and pedestrians to Geist Patrol by calling 317-842-8082, paying particular attention to vehicles parked on the street with individuals sitting in the vehicle.
• Turn on all exterior lighting from dusk to dawn.
• If you have a security system, please set your alarm anytime you leave your home.
• Keep all doors and windows locked, including the door from your garage into your home.
• Sliding glass doors are vulnerable. Please consider installing special locks for better security. 
• Keep your garage door closed and if you have a keypad, please utilize a personal code.
• Please park all vehicles in your garage. If this is not possible, lock all vehicles parked in your driveway and remove all valuables.
• Consider using timers on interior lights.

Dog Bites Increasing in GHPOA Communities…

VACANT MARSH/NEEDLER LOCATION

Located at the corner of Fox and Oaklandon Roads, a local company purchased this property. Part of the oversized parking lot has been subdivided and a new shopping strip will be built. We have been advised that negotiations are underway for the leasing of the existing vacant building and for future tenants of the new shopping strip. It is anticipated that leases will be signed in 2024.

Golf Cart Safety Reminder

Driving Golf Carts on GHPOA Streets!

An Important Safety Reminder from Geist Patrol…

We have had reports of children driving golf carts on GHPOA streets; – speeding, drag racing, driving after sunset with no lights, and one incident where a golf cart tipped over while turning a corner. 

Geist Patrol reminds us of the following laws which apply to golf carts being driven on our public streets:

Indianapolis – Only those individuals holding a valid driver’s license may operate a golf cart on the public streets in GHPOA. Golf Carts are treated like any other vehicle and must be equipped with proper safety and lighting equipment. Golf carts must also be registered and insured as required by Indiana law.

Fishers – The use and operation of golf carts is governed by Fishers City Ordinance No. 090214D, which authorizes golf carts to be operated on select neighborhood streets. This authorization DOES NOT include any streets in GHPOA and, therefore, the operation of golf carts on GHPOA streets is prohibited by law. 

City of Lawrence – Only those individuals holding a valid driver’s license may operate a golf cart on the public streets in GHPOA. Golf Carts are treated like any other vehicle and must be equipped with proper safety and lighting equipment. Golf carts must also be registered and insured as required by Indiana law.

In the interest of public safety, if you observe any violation pertaining to the use or operation of golf carts on GHPOA public streets, please report such activity to Geist Patrol at (317) 842-8082.
