New License Plate Cameras in Asbel Creek
Flock Safety Community Outreach
Asbel Creek HOA has partnered with Flock Safety, a national neighborhood security provider that specializes in community safety using license plate reading cameras. License plates are the #1 piece of evidence that police request in the case of criminal activity such as home and car break-ins. Flock Safety’s cameras are entirely self-sufficient; they are solar powered and send footage via mobile technology to a secure cloud-based network unique to our community. The cameras record footage but also have both day and night-time capability to read and record license plates that pass through our community. Privacy was a top concern for the Asbel Creek HOA when they decided to move forward with these cameras. The footage and data that is collected is automatically deleted after 30 days and is accessible only by an authorized individual. In the event of a crime, access can be shared and footage can be downloaded and stored by either the community or local authorities. Despite this technology, it is just a camera. The #1 way to deter crime is a responsibility we each own individually: lock your doors and keep your valuables out of sight. We are fortunate to live in such a safe neighborhood, but we believe that this service will both further deter mischief crimes and provide a valuable resource to our residents. Warnings: ● The existence of Flock Safety cameras should NOT be relied upon by any individual for safety or security. Individuals are encouraged to take additional precautions to ensure the safety of their property. ● Asbel Creek and Flock Safety are NOT law enforcement agencies and are not able to undertake law enforcement activities. Any illegal activity should be reported to law enforcement immediately for investigation. |
Even dropping the cost from more than half a billion to $250 million, an underpass at U.S. 41 and State Road 54 would be too pricey.
Members of the Pasco County Metropolitan Planning Organization have opted not to add the underpass – also called a tunnel – to a list of recommended road designs to ease traffic congestion at U.S. 41 and State Road 54.
Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore said “it’s worth looking at everything.”
But, the tunnel option is “cost prohibitive.”

Conceptual drawings have been done for the Christopher N. Chiles Aquatic Center in Land O’ Lakes that could become a magnet for swimming tournaments, and would provide a wide range of services for swimmers of all ages and abilities.
It would cost about $8 million for the facility, without a complete roof system, said Scott Sutek, executive director for the envisioned aquatic center.
Backers would prefer a building with an indoor pool, but that would cost between $12 million and $15 million, Sutek said.
