Driving to the Boathouse

All rowers and coxswains,
This message was sent out to the coach of every school that rows out of Sandy Run Regional Park by the park manager. Please take heed of this; with our numbers somewhat lower than in the past, we do not need club members missing on account of their driving.

EXCESSIVE SPEED WARNING


The safety of the neighborhood and of the Sandy Run Regional Park
users is a serious issue with the vehicular traffic along Van Thompson
Road and inside the park. Fairfax County Police will be running radar
and issuing traffic citations throughout the season as you come to and
from the park. Since the Park Authority has serious concerns, the
following consequences will occur for speeding violations.

· First Violation: Rowers and coaches in a vehicle detected
exceeding the posted speed limit will be recorded and will miss that
day of practice.

· Second Violation: Rowers and coaches in a vehicle detected
exceeding the posted speed limit will be recorded and will miss a week
of practice and that week’s regatta.

* Third Violation: Rowers and coaches in a vehicle detected
exceeding the posted speed limit will be recorded and will not be
permitted to row at the Sandy Run Regional Park Rowing facility for
the rest of the respective regatta season or camp.
