Similar situation a few years back in this area, with a local high-end community - they managed to get it codified into a local ordinance, that local kids were not allowed to even WALK thru their community on the sidewalks, on their way to and from a neighboring school - even if said kids actually resided inside the community. The spokesperson for the community displayed an attitude similar to what I saw in the Norfolk area years ago - "sailors and dogs keep off the grass" - except it was directed towards other people's children.
