New ID rules now in effect for bus riders
Beginning TODAY, all village residents will be REQUIRED to show their village identification card when riding ANY bus route that travels outside the village.

This is an increased security measure designed to ensure only authorized village residents board the buses when returning to the village.

Please be prepared to show your village ID upon boarding any external route BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE.

The ID check when boarding within the village is to ensure that you do not find yourself outside the village, seeking a ride home, without proper ID.

The ID check when boarding outside the village is to ensure only authorized riders are transported into the village.

This requirement is intended to further enhance our village safety and security.

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL TO OUR TRANSPORTATION STAFF WHEN ASKED FOR YOUR ID. OUR DRIVERS WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO BE FLEXIBLE ON THIS SECURITY REQUIREMENT.
Know the rules of the road!
With so many drivers in the village this time of year, safe driving is essential to protect our walkers, bikers, and drivers.

One of the biggest issues is at stop signs. Here are the rules when approaching an intersection with stop signs:
  • At a four-way stop intersection, the driver of the first vehicle to stop at the intersection shall be the first to proceed. If two or more vehicles reach the four-way stop intersection at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.

  • Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line.

  • Finally, ALWAYS LOOKS FOR PEDESTRIANS AND YIELD TO THEM IF THEY ARE CROSSING THE ROADWAY.

The Broward Sheriff's Office is in the village and WILL TICKET YOU for violating these rules.

Finally, if you are on a bike you are REQUIRED to follow the same rules as motorists. A bike is a vehicle (especially an e-bike)!

Message from the Executive Director
Happy New Year
I have made two very significant New Year's resolutions!

The first: To break ground on the final stage of our campaign to upgrade and improve our gateways by beginning construction of our new main gate.

The second: To move from planning to planting in our new CVE Central Park! CVE Central Park is poised to be one of the most impressive signature amenities in any South Florida 55+ community.

Our rising property values continue to be proof-positive that Century Village East continues to be one of the most desirable communities in the state.

We accomplished so much in 2022. It's hard to keep track of all our work. We are planning to resume our live Annual Town Hall meetings in the next month or two. The presentation will be a recap of 2022, and a preview of 2023. When we have the date set, I will let you know.

In the meantime, let me wish you a happy and healthy new year,
Be well. Stay Safe.
