The Department of Transportation is currently acquiring easements. Work is scheduled to start on January 1.

LaVista Park:

Residents were encouraged to contact State Rep. Doug Teper and Tom Black (Roads & Drainage) to get the drainage problems resolved in LaVista Park.

The suggestion was made to have a mail drop box installed in the neighborhood as a way to reduce mail theft.

The suggestion was made to have raccoon-proof garbage cans installed in the Park. Bonnie Jackson will inquire into availability and cost.

The floor was opened for comments and suggestions for the direction of Board and Association activities. There was general approval of the current direction. Several suggestions were made regarding improvements on LaVista Road:

This requires approx. 60% approval of homeowners.
