More people to use the new sidewalks on 250 plus some affordable housing? Plus, people really do show up to CCAC meetings when it directly affects them. First – if you have questions, concerns, are looking for housing, maybe start with Charlottesville Tomorrow’s Housing Resources …
Goodbye, Crozet Laundromat
Maybe they’ll underground the powerlines. Here’s hoping for apartments, too!

Eastern Connector RFP – Maybe It Will be Built?
I’ll reiterate my plea for a generationally-shaping bridge rather than merely a bridge to move cars and trucks. “Plant trees the shade of which you’ll never enjoy.” Building a bridge that connects 250 to 240 without providing protected bike lanes (paint is neither protection nor …

Crozet Gathering Space Concept Study
What follows is but a project, and a fantastic idea. We – not just Crozetians, but humans – need third spaces. While we’re not a city, we’re still humans. America’s social fabric is unraveling as traditional community gathering spots disappear, leaving people increasingly isolated in …
Albemarle County Launches Master Plan for Three Notched Trail Shared-Use Path

What does Crozet Want? Infrastructure & Greenspace
Well, the Crozetians to commented on this Facebook post at least want infrastructure, greenspace, and more businesses. So many of us want sidewalks. I’d add a request for wider, more welcoming, and inviting sidewalks that connect our neighborhoods and our communities. I ask each of …
