Cherrie Begley - April 10, 2013
The County is paving Copse Way today.  It may take Thursday to complete the road.

Cherrie Begley - April 5, 2013
Contractors are going to start milling Copse Way and then East Queens Drive on Monday, April 8. After milling they will be paving.

Mark Frankel - March 29, 2013
With the continued wet cool weather the milling of East Queens, Little John and hopefully Sheriffs has been delayed.  There is hope on the horizon.  Next week looks to be more favorable as long as the rain is kept to a minimum.  If all goes well milling will start next Tuesday, April 2nd, with paving to begin the following week.  Again all is predicated on Mother Nature being kind to us.  When they start please take alternate routes to and from your home.  If you don’t you will have to wait for them to take a break and this will also delay the process. 
Pressure tests are being conducted on Little John and pipe work on Sheriffs should be complete by Friday. 
When work starts please be mindful of the crews so the job can be completed as quickly as possible without any sacrifice to quality.

Mark Frankel - March 22, 2013
Will be milling East Queens, Nottingham and Copse Way next week. They are asking members who live on Willoughby, Montague, Horseshoe and Charles River Landing to please use West Queens Drive while they are milling the roads. Paving will start the following week. Will be working on Sheriff's Place for a while Finishing pots on Sherwood. In case you don't know what milling is:  It is the process of digging up the old asphalt and crushing it into rocks and putting it back down in the road to use as a base for the asphalt

Mark Frankel - March 11, 2013:
Will finish 6 inch force main today doing vacuum pump on Sherwood Dr. Finishing on Allendale this week Going to try milling and paving EQ and Copse Way, part of Nottingham and Sheriffs Place if the weather cooperates this week. If they start milling and paving please avoid that street.

Cherrie Begley - February 13, 2013:
The work is progressing up Nottingham Rd now. Monday they will be going to Sheriffs Place. On Little John the pots are almost done, maybe done by Friday. Compaction test for paving on E. Q. is done.  Need to test for compaction on Copse Way. Need to test compaction on Will Scarlet. Should be paving E.Q., Copse Way, part of Will Scarlet and Sheriffs Place by the end of the February depending on weather.  Going to Nottingham and Little John next.

Winter Pot-Hole Repairs  If you have recently traveled along E. Queens between Willoughby and LakesHead or around Copse, you may want to book an appointment with your chiropractor or other suspension specialist...if you were driving faster than 20mph you qualify for combat disability. The County Inspector, Jeff Moore called me this morning and said they intend to smooth out the road today (Wed 16Jan) and will continue tomorrow...they recognize the problem and want you to know they are on it. The road will be freshly paved soon....snow fall (2 in) are being predicted for tomorrow evening so plan accordingly...Thanks to everyone for their patience...only 2 more years of this is left to go.

Main Line Crew completed Copse on Thursday and have a small bit of work to complete on Crown Ct... then they will get the asphalt paving equipment scheduled back in here. The Proj. Inspector, Jef Moore reminds everyone the Temps need to be 42 and above for them to pave.  Also please remember the machine is wide and can be expected to result in longer waiting time before you will be allowed to pass by. Please remember to detour whenever you can as allowing the machine to work  uninhibited by traffic shortens the time it takes to pave.

SPECIAL ITEM: Several people have reported paint and wall cracks consequent to road compacting equipment operating in front of their homes. Upon reporting the problem to the county they were asked if they have current photos to help validate the damage. Before the clubhouse property was exposed to the pummeling from the pump house pile driving we had the association buildings photographed (between 800-1000 shots...thanks to digital cameras). I recommend you consider doing the same so you can compare damage after the fact. We will be reviewing photos with the County soon and will share with you the outcomes.

Main Line Crew: 

Will finish up Copse this week.   Crew will then move over to Will Scarlet between E. Queens and Nottingham and then turn left on to Nottingham and complet the main line out to Little John/Lakeshead.  When that is done, they will install main line on the remainder of Will Scarlet. ...The worked just mentioned will take the crew thru February.

Vacuum Pot Crew:

Currently working on Nottingham off shoots. and will continue thru January.  

Other Items:

Update on the Pump Station:  If you remember the previous update, The pump house was stalled for about 3 weeks while parts were on backorder...all parts have been received and the pumphouse is near being fully enclosed. In addition, this report comes to you by Dane Eckert, Director for the Marina. Dane was newly elected in November:  Pump station construction at the marina is pretty well on schedule, and although there is always a possibility of delay, it is expected to be operational by March 2013.  

Asphalting:   Next, the crew will start to prepare E. Queens for new asphalt on or about 1 Feb. Temps need to be in the mid-40s and no rain in order to do the job properly.
