Operational changes to begin at Del Mar Gate near Spanish Springs

Operational changes at the Del Mar Gate near Spanish Springs Town Square will be beginning to improve the overall functionality of the gate. The change is taking place after much discussion by the Amenity Authority Committee, which funds the operation of the gate. 

The Del Mar Gate near Spanish Springs Town Square.

• Dec. 19 through Jan. 6 – the gate will operate as a “visitor lane” style gate, in which the gate attendant will open the gate for all users. The Gate Attendant will NOT use a handheld stop sign or be stationed on the sidewalk near the roadway. The gate arm activation switch is located in the gatehouse, where the attendant will be located. The Gate Attendant will have discretion to lock the gate in the “up” position during heavy traffic, as necessary.
• Jan. 7 through Jan. 26 – the gate will be operated in “automatic open mode.” The Gate Attendant will be stationed in the doorway to provide customer service and greet users. As users approach the gate, the arm will automatically open WITHOUT the use of a gate access card or push of the button. The Gate Attendant will have the discretion to lock the gate in the “up” position during heavy traffic, as necessary.

Those passing through the gate are asked to use caution and reduce speed when approaching the gate and pay attention to all directions provided by the Gate Attendant. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Community Watch at (352) 753-0550.
