Welcome to the SVA Safety Page, the official site of the Sierra View Safety Committee.  This committee was established by the Sierra View Board of Directors in January of 2007, as a means of addressing the broad issue of safety in the association. 

 

On this page, the committee will provide safety-related announcements and items of interest.  Going forward, the committee plans to address many of your safety-related concerns.  These include

 

  •     Identifying safety hazards
  •     Developing programs to promote the general safety of the community
  •     Inspecting our common areas and equipment
  •     Recommending improvements
  •     Listening to your feedback

 

I am pleased to be the chairperson of this committee and I look forward to working more closely with community volunteers and hearing your comments.  If you have a safety-related concern, please attend the monthly board meeting at the clubhouse or email me at sierraview@epix.net.

 

Thank you and “think safety”,

George Gallagher

ATV usage in Sierra View
Pennsylvania has beautiful and challenging opportunities for all terrain vehicle (ATV) riding. Many trails have been developed on public and private lands to accommodate this recreational pursuit.  However, the streets of Sierra View are no place for unregistered, unlicensed ATV riders to pursue this fast growing pastime. 
 
Township ordinances, and SVA’s own Rules and Regulations prohibit ATV usage within the association.  The Commonwealth also provides guidelines for the safe operation, licensing and registration, and insurance requirements of ATV’s in Pennsylvania .
 
We ask all residents of the association to be aware of the rules regarding the safe—and unsafe—operation of ATV’s and how to report a violation.
