I live in the Avalon Park area and I have major concerns with the speeding and reckless driving along Avalon Park Blvd. It is at the point of being dangerous. I have even witnessed cars racing. How can we request to have the Police monitor this area on a regular basis. I never see officers here giving tickets.

  The Sheriff’s office has been notified about this and asked to keep an eye on it. I am working with Orange County Public Works on overall traffic calming for this area because certain spots on APB have become a concern.

Actually, the State of Florida does govern HOA's. I believe it is Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes.

There is also an advocacy group which can be found here. Good luck.

  Nobody handles HOAs. Have you considered running for your HOA and getting elected?
