Parking Changes for Crozet Farmers Market (and everything else at the Methodist Church)

Via email:

Recently, you may have noticed that it is no longer possible to access Crozet United Methodist Church from Carter Street. This is because the current owner of the property adjacent to ours has unfortunately decided to close that entrance, one they own but have previously allowed us to use for at least the last five decades.

Therefore, it will be necessary for everyone to enter our property for worship, church events, the Farmers’ Market, neighborhood association meetings, our food pantry, county meetings, Scout meetings, etc. via our Crozet Avenue or Jarmans Gap entrances.

Also, please do not park for events held at the church on the Carter Street side of this barrier, as we have learned that this too is prohibited by the landowner next door. Please rest assured that we are working diligently to gain access off our property to Carter Street, and we hope to have this accomplished soon.

Sincerely,

The Trustees of Crozet United Methodist Church

Work on Trails in Crozet this Weekend

For those of you who want to get out there and work on trails, we will be meeting next Saturday morning, April 24th, at 8:30am at Beaver Creek Resevoir. We will either work on the former Henley Hornets trail at the resevior, or we will go up to Byrom Park to help Dan prepare for the Bio Blitz.

I will let you know which project we will be working on as next weekend approaches. Either way, it will be a morning of good company, hard work, nature appreciation, and personal fulfilment. What more could you want from a Saturday morning?

Contact Jessica for more details or to be added to the email list.
Hope to see you there!

Update:

Good morning Crozet Trail Team!

Regarding this Saturday, I am hoping that the rain holds off for a few hours in the morning so that we can tackle the trails. However, if it is raining, we will not meet.

Thinking optimistically of dry skies and cool weather, let’s meet at 8:30 at Beaver Creek Resevior. Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your tools (if you have some, but we will provide some as well). As of now, both projects (Resevoir trail and Byrom Park) are options for Saturday morning. We will see how many folks show up, what they feel like working on, and what the weather looks like.

I hope to see many of you on Saturday, and if not, we will have another workday coming up soon.

Restore N Station On Hold?

The Newsplex is reporting:

Plans for a proposed gas station in Crozet remain on hold until June after a group of residents file an appeal. No decisions were made on whether plans for the RestoreNStation would move forward during the Albemarle County Planning Commission meeting Tuesday night.
“Under state law, when you appeal it stops any other process that might further a determination,” says Chief of Zoning Ron Higgins.
