Residents of Turnberry expressed growing frustration over safety concerns during a recent neighborhood association meeting, highlighting issues that have persisted for over a decade. A local resident, who has lived in the area for 47 years, voiced strong dissatisfaction with the response from city officials, particularly Councilman Pianfetti and the neighborhood services director, during the meeting.

The resident recounted alarming incidents, including late-night encounters with suspicious individuals and a recent attempted break-in that left a neighbor feeling vulnerable for an extended period while waiting for police assistance. He criticized the police response time, which he described as unacceptable, especially given the high property taxes paid by residents—over $7 million collectively for the neighborhood.

The resident called for a dedicated study session to address these ongoing safety issues, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive discussion that includes not only Turnberry but also neighboring communities like Glenshire and Trails of Bridal. He expressed determination to continue advocating for change, warning that without action, the situation could lead to serious harm to residents.

The meeting underscored a growing demand for accountability and action from city officials to enhance safety measures in the community, as residents voiced their fears and frustrations about living in an increasingly unsafe environment.
