I think every development should put up a gate and keep out the people that gripe and moan about it.

After reading the article in Saturdays newspaper you'd think that Redbridge was the worlds first community heading towards being a full blown gated community. To be honest I think they should go for it. If I could afford to live in a community such as Redbridge I would.

If I was paying what folks in that community pay to live there I'd want walls and gates too. I am sure there is little to no crime, the streets are clean and the parks are clean and well kept. I wouldn't doubt it if most people know each other who live there. It has nothing to do with Redbridge residents being better than the rest of us. The only difference is they can afford to live there. It doesn't mean all who reside there are arrogant or hold their noses too high in the air.

Every where you go, every city in the world and every community has arrogant people, mean people, nice people who help each other and folks who are just down to earth and go with the flow.

The amount of crime in Tracy is ridiculously high for the size of this city. The abundance of vandalism is crazy.

So, can you blame them? We see fences and gates and walls around single residences and even some apartment complexes are gated to keep non-residents out but yet we are not reading about them in the paper. If Redbridge decides to be a fully gated community then that is their decision together.

In this day and age why worry about what someone else is doing as long as it is not harming anyone else. Focus on what YOU need to do to keep YOUR family and loved ones alive and happy.

Who cares? Lock the gate and make everyone go around. The gate isn't there for lookey-loueys.

I was told by security that we will need our key to get through to the school during school hours. It doesn't make sense to leave it unlocked during school hours. What is going to to keep high school students from other neighborhoods from using Redbridge as a short cut to the high school? Wasn't that one of the reasons for the gate/lock being installed?

Where was security when the idiot on the motorcycle drove through?? Hopefully someone was able to take down the plate.

I live in Redbridge and my daughters attend George Kelly. There will be a key put on the gate, however, it will remain unlocked during school hours.

And for the idiot who drove through the gate on his motorcycle while all of the children were walking to school this morning, we will be on the lookout for you! He could not care less about the kids that were trying to get to school just as long as he could take a short cut through Redbridge...

Most parents already know they cannot drive through there. I recall driving up to that gate years ago. It was there then and it's there now.

The gate is currently with out a lock because it is on back order. I live in Redbridge and spoke with security who sits at the gate daily. We are in fact getting a lock that requires a Redbridge key. Soon, no one with out a key will be able to pass through the gate.

While there is not a lock at present, it is clear from the HOA meeting minutes that a lock is planned for that gate. I doubt that they would have paid to have the gate installed last month if putting a lock on it wasn't in the plan.

Ah come on folks, we don't want th facts ta get inta th way of an otherwise excellent hack job against th folks livin in Redbridge now do we?

Whairs th fun in that?

fortheunderdog, my daughter actually uses the gate to ENTER Redbridge from the Kelly School side after she's dropped off by bus at Kelly. No Card Key !

Since this writer appears to be a resident of Redbridge ("We at Redbridge"), her daughter probably doesn't need a card/key to exit, just turn the knob. LOL It's the entering of Redbridge to get to the new high school that the original writer (Solorio) was writing about.
