As of April 2, 2024 East Lake Woodlands will no long be manning the security booth at the East Lake Road and Tampa Road entrances. Instead, new kiosks will be installed that allow visitors to contact a central station to provide access.
Part of this update is the removal of the barcode scanners in the residents' lanes and the auxiliary entrances (Truist bank, Behind McDonalds, Behind Walmart Neighborhood Grocery, and Sunflower). Residents should receive new RFID tags that will be scanned as they drive up to the gate.
