There are three pieces of GCA news we would like to communicate in advance of the next Newsletter:
Roadside Posts
 |
| New-Style Post |
Following the successful trial of an improved design of roadside post, the Common Area Review Board (CARB) has just approved the following policy on the use of these posts, which will take effect in May:
1. The only posts or other roadside traffic deterrents that may be installed in front of homes are those that have been approved and are owned by GCA (18" posts with white tops). Old-style posts (24" green) are owned by Glenmore Associates (developer) and are approved for use only by the developer at locations next door or across the street from new home construction. Old-style posts are placed and retrieved by Glenmore Associates and are intended to prevent roadside parking by contractor vehicles during home construction.

2. Placement of GCA posts will only be in those areas where traffic regularly and significantly encroaches on grass areas, usually at corner locations. A minimum number of posts will be placed at any location (one to three). Posts will be placed by CARB and removed when they are no longer required.
3. Requests for post placement may be made via the GCA website or by contacting the Maintenance Manager. CARB will review all requests and placements.
4. Any posts, sticks, wires or other roadside items that have not been approved by CARB will be removed and placed in the resident's driveway.
SPCA Truck
We are pleased to announce that a Charlottesville SPCA truck will again be on site on Saturday April 16, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM next to the dumpster site (adjacent to the soccer field along Carroll Creek Road). 
The SPCA will accept any good used items which may have value to others, which will then be sold at their resale store on Preston Avenue. All proceeds will go to support SPCA animal shelters in Charlottesville. Please check your home for no-longer needed items and prepare to donate them on April 16.
Shadwell Bridge Hearing
VDOT has just announced that there will be a public hearing concerning the planned replacement of
the superstructure of the Route 250 bridge at Shadwell. The hearing will be on Tuesday, April 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Charlottesville VDOT office at 7, VDOT Way. Glenmore residents will be impacted by road closures when this goes ahead. You may contact the Culpeper district office (800-367-7623) if you need information in advance.
