We hear a lot about committees and home owner associations telling people what they can and can't do. Compared to the UK it often seems over complicated and very restrictive!
garden steps?

Well, here we have the "council housing officers", who like a power trip.
At the moment, we are phantom planting in the estate, because the officer doesn't agree with our gardening group making the place look nicer
Like @rockyroller's committee, the housing does not fix or take care or anything either!
Worse, they have a say even if one is not a council house tenant.

one of the condo board co-presidents came by & took a tour & I was able to show him pics & tell him about poncho-boy's behavior. he has been staying away now & I have a green light to close the trail entrance behind my patio & open a new one over to the right. actually where poncho-boy is keen to do the same. so, yay, we have a plan!
meanwhile, on a recent get-a-way w/ Wifey to Vermont we came across some very good slope steps along a hike
really well done, I thought. & I won't be doing that at all

security camera video screenshot, so the quality isn't very good
found a cpl pics from before they created the trail entrance

In fairness, in this instance it doesn't seem to be anything of the sort, but the residents' committer trying to work out what they should or can do, and in any case not at all unsupportive of what the OP has done off his own bat

since the new trail exit/entrance is happening I borrowed the porch paint I had mixed for my Mother's front porch & covered the trail markers leading to & from my patio. it's a good match for tree bark, I think
almost like they were never there

well, we'll see how the walkers respond to a new trail exit
old trail
haven't used stencils in a long time
new trail. less of a slope & I don't have to maintain it
not this way anymore
go that way, not this way

success! the dog walkers get the idea
now if we can just get this dog owner to keep their dog on a leash! it can't read the new trail signs, lol
it's a good jumper!
say cheese!
