Full Commercial Route Service Resumes

In early September, Village bus commercial routes 1 and 2 were temporarily combined to address a staffing shortage.

Beginning Monday, November 17, both commercial route 1 and commercial route 2 will resume full service.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we worked through this adjustment.

Safety Starts With Awareness

Everyone plays a part in keeping our community secure and enjoyable. Staying alert and speaking up when something doesnโ€™t look right helps prevent problems before they grow. Whether itโ€™s an unusual situation, a traffic concern or potential theft, your awareness supports a safer environment for everyone.

Security and Compliance Reporting Resources

The Security Services Department works around the clock to protect the Village. Courteous gate ambassadors monitor entry points, 24-hour dispatch responds to service requests and marked patrol vehicles provide ongoing community coverage.

For immediate concerns, call VMS Security Services at 949-580-1400 (available 24/7).

In the event of an emergency, always dial 9-1-1.

Residents who believe a community rule may have been violated can complete a community rule violations form available at the Community Center or ื›ึผึธืืŸ. Common issues include occupancy, clutter and noise or nuisance complaints.

For more details, visit the Security Services Department and Compliance Division at lagunawoodsvillage.com/services/security-services.

Get Ready for Rainy Season

Rainy season is just around the corner, meaning now is the time to prepare. When it rains, water flows directly into our creeks, rivers and ocean without being treated. This means anything on the ground, including dog waste, litter, pesticides or debris can be carried into the storm drain system and pollute our waterways.

Take simple steps now to help keep rainwater clean:

  1. Pick up dog waste with a bag, tie the bag and place it in a closed bin.
  2. Clear leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts.
  3. Keep all trash and recyclables in closed bins.
  4. Use pesticides sparingly, follow label directions and apply only on calm, dry days at least 48 hours before rain is expected.
