Good evening to all.

As stated last night, all parking for the concrete work was opened as of this morning.

The pool parking lot is hereby closed for community parking.

I removed cones from some of the areas this afternoon so they should all be removed from the concrete work areas currently. The walk-through will occur tomorrow.

TREE WORK: We will have a Bartlett crew in the community tomorrow doing some arbor care work for us.

Upper Carriagepark Road – curb parking on the island in front of 4920 through 4926 (from the speed bump to the corner) has been taped off for tomorrow. Please relocate the three vehicles currently parked in that area. For others in the community – as this didn’t receive the usual advance preparation you may have the Bartlett truck parked in odd areas to accomplish some of the work. Please work with the crew if your vehicle becomes unable to get out of it’s space – they’ll get you set free…

Again – please keep vehicle tires off the new concrete as much as possible to let the curing continue.

Enjoy your evening.

Good evening all.

I have mostly good news this evening.

We are almost finished and will do the walk-through tomorrow.

The crew is still doing final clean-up and street/parking area cleaning.

Please continue to remain out of the restricted spaces.

All parking will be open tomorrow morning.

For those of you who have spaces with new concrete adjacent to them please keep your vehicles back from the concrete to allow inspection.

For all – please remember not to place vehicle tires on new concrete.

Thanks for your efforts – the parking challenge was handled by all those impacted in an excellent manner – really do appreciate that.

Sincerely,

Mark

Good evening to all.

Day 1 on the concrete was a success and a major chunk of work was accomplished. There is still more work to accomplish so please remember the following:

1. Do not walk on fresh concrete
2. Parking space relocations are if effect tomorrow. If you are in a space impacted by the no parking rule, please have your vehicle out by 7:00AM tomorrow morning.

Our window for the parking relocations continues to last until Friday but I expect we will finish earlier than that.

Thanks for all of y’alls support – have an enjoyable and safe evening.

Regards,

Mark

All – for those impacted by the concrete work during this week:

The Pool Parking Lot is hereby opened for overflow parking if you wish to utilize it. We currently plan to have the pool parking lot open until 5:00PM on Friday, October 9, 2020. The concrete work should be completed before then – if so the pool parking lot will be closed for parking earlier than Friday.

All vehicles parking there are subject to all the permit parking rules for our community. If you are planning to be away from the community for the rest of the week please relocate your vehicle to non-restricted curb parking or non-restricted visitor parking spaces in the community, not the pool parking lot.

Several more assigned parking spaces were added to the list today. The applicable residences (one residence on Carriagepark Road, three residences on Treasure Court) received notices at the residence along with signs placed on the applicable parking spaces.

Reminder – towing begins tomorrow at 7AM and runs through 6PM – please relocate your vehicles this evening or we will have to relocate them tomorrow at your expense.

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Regards,

Mark
