2009 Neighborhood Fees update

So far only 25 of our 65 homes have participated, which is less than 40%. We can do better than that. I’ll be sending out reminder letters soon. Paying incrementally is acceptable, if you don’t want to pay everything at once.

The scoop on Parkshore III resurfacing

I talked with Eric from the County Public Works, and he says the resurfacing will be completed.

The work already done was part of a project from last year. The budget for that project ran out in the middle of our neighborhood.

There is new money from the half-cent sales tax available, and the County has put out for bids to complete our streets. The contract should be awarded in a month, then the contractor has 200 days to complete the work.

So we’ll get resurfaced by the end of the year, but we don’t know anything more than that.

Repaving only half the neighborhood?

The equipment was all packed out on Saturday afternoon, and I haven’t seen it since. Windsor, Birmingham, Marble Arch, and Tudor were paved; Charing Cross, Paddington, Leichester, and Portsmouth weren’t touched. No idea if they’re coming back.

It looked like a County job, so I’ve sent the County a note asking about this.

Repaving is going on now!

I guess that stimulus money moves quickly… we came home this afternoon to find someone milling the street in anticipation of repaving it.

I highly recommend you park off the street tomorrow, and get your garbage and recycling containers inside as soon as you can tomorrow.

I do not know if this will impact the garbage and recycling pickup schedule, but I doubt it.

No more condos?

There’s been a big property-for-sale sign up in front of the lot for a few weeks. Guess we’re not getting neighbors.
