Crozet Fireworks Needs Our Help (2011)
We have a beautiful environment, a varied four-season climate, a safe community, a friendly and involved group of citizens who value all the good things that come with living in a small town. … People come to Crozet from all over our country to enjoy the quality of life that perhaps they used to know somewhere else, but no longer exists in many cities and towns. … Let’s lend our financial support to our Crozet Park as it tries to complete a fund-raising goal to pay for an all-season dome over the pool. … The festivities continue on Saturday, July 2nd with a parade down Crozet Avenue starting at 4:00 PM and a fireworks show beginning that evening around 9:30 (or 20 minutes after dark) in Crozet Park.
Crozet Community Advisory Council – 19 May 2011
I’m going to update this post tomorrow morning, but wanted to put it out there tonight while it was fresh for me. A few notes before I republish all the tweets: 1 – A lot of interesting and pertinent stuff is discussed here; more of the public really should attend. … 4 – That no one from the schools bothered to attend to participate in the Walk/Bike to School discussion was disappointing and frankly, upsetting. … 6 – Comments welcome; I’d love to have members of Crozet do this for both the CCAC and CCA meetings; the information is valuable and I’d like to think that with consistency there could be an audience asking questions via Twitter.
Crozet Community Advisory Council Meeting – 19 May
I’d love to see any of these meetings live-streamed to involve more members of the Crozet community. We could even have Twitter conversations using a hashtag to really pull more people in.
…Plans for Crozet Fourth of July celebration: dance – July 1st; parade, a day in the park on Sat. … Project Updates/Information: Re-Store’N Station, Claudius Place, Crozet Square development, Yancey Business Park, Comprehensive Plan Kick-off meeting, StreetScape II and SWM project.
Re Store N Station Slammed by ARB
I feel like each step of this should be preceded by a Law & Order style title as this story has so many twists and characters … I’d love to see a timeline.
The Albemarle Architectural Review Board has panned the design for a 2-story gas station and convenience store proposed for U.S. … I know this: I’m glad I’m not trying to build a commercial building in Albemarle.
Jarman’s Gap Construction Begins
Sidewalk, and bike lanes and car lanes.
… The improvements will include wider travel lanes, the addition of bike lanes, and construction of curb and gutter and sidewalk. The proposed design calls for 12-foot wide travel lanes, a four-foot wide bicycle lane on each side of the road, curb and gutter on both sides of the roadway and sidewalk on the northern side of Route 691. h/t newsplex . I’ll chalk this up as a pending improvement.
Bike Month 2011 – How Is Crozet Going to Participate?
It’s Bike Month ; the folks at Bike Charlottesville have coordinated an outstanding set of events which I encourage you to participate in any way that you can. … I tried to revitalize the Walk To School program at Crozet Elementary, but ran into so many bureaucratic and “worried about liability” impediments that I conceded to those concerns. … Rather than try to work within the defined systems, I’ll simply keep riding my bike with my daughter to school, wear my helmet inside the school to encourage conversations with kids who will hopefully pester their parents and continue trying to both set and example and “walk the walk”, if you will. … Please take the time to read Seth Godin’s “Times a Million” post from 2007; it made a real impact on how I think and the decisions I make.
Parkside Village Described by the HooK
The HooK, in their weekly On the Block feature described Parkside Village pretty well when writing about a property I am co-marketing :
…Parkside Village is home to lots of families– moms and dads push strollers along the sidewalks while kids ride their bikes around the cul-de-sacs. Claudius Crozet Park is within easy walking distance and offers a variety of activities including baseball, boot camps, soccer, swimming, and art and antique shows. … Long-time residents of Crozet may relegate the clatter of the train, which can be heard from many places in town, to background noise, but the close proximity of the tracks will undoubtedly deter some prospective purchasers.
Have you Ever Stopped to Read the Crozet Sign in the Square?
