New Park District
Construction Update
I have been in contact with Park District representatives for an update on the parking lot constriction. This is the current status:
1) With the construction, things have been changing almost daily. Various community staff (Park District personnel, the Briargate Principal, Police Officers) have been on site as needed to help direct the Trout Valley kids who use this location as a means to get to school or to the bus stop;
2) The current situation is about the worst the project is going to get. After next week, things will continue to improve as the parking lot is put back together;
3) As for any changes concerning the junior high bus stop, the Briargate Principal is acting as a point person for District 26. Trout Valley residents can contact him or the Junior High principal regarding the bus pick up; and,
4) The Park District anticipates the project to be completed by the end of October or the beginning of November, weather permitting. If you have any specific questions regarding this project, please forward them to my attention and I will get an answer as quickly as possible.
Thank you.Bob Baker

Blast versus Newsletter?
We've recently had questions and requests for sending out email blasts to Trout Valley residents. These have included blasts for charitable donations and open houses. Most community information can be circulated in the weekly newsletter. The blasts are reserved for important and time-sensitive information. We want residents to know that when they receive a blast, they should read it as soon as they can, as it is something of concern for the community.
When we reject a blast request, we are trying to balance the need to communicate effectively and quickly with Trout Valley against the rights of the residents not to be overwhelmed with local messages. If we don't send out a lot of blasts, we hope those we do send get your attention. We appreciate your consideration.
Thanks, Bob Baker
