Speed Hump Update

I asked Erik Brondum, with WVC Public Works if the speed humps have helped with the speed in our neighborhood.  He emailed me & said:

The speed humps are helping. On High Bluff we went from 35mph+ before to 27mhp now. When we can finish collecting data in the spring I will have a final report.

That is so exciting!!!  That is huge...can't wait to see what this report tells us.

Lodestone Park

I received an email from Angelo regarding the LODESTONE PARK!  The location of the park will be in that field north of 6200 South between High Bluff Dr & Laurel Canyon Dr.  Here is the information that he sent me...

Since our last meeting the following has occurred regarding Lodestone Park:

1. The County finalized the acquisition of the 47-acres surrounding the 15-acre park site, so we now have 62-acres.
2. Work on the master plan has been modified to include the whole 62-acres.
3. A questionnaire was sent out to nearly 3,000 residents surrounding the park, and we had a 12% return.

We are now preparing for an open house, where a several new master plan concepts will be displayed, reviewed, and discussed.  Please join us on Thursday, January 14 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at Thomas Jefferson Junior High School (5850 South 5600 West).

Thank you,

Hope you can make it, so you can share your opinion with the new park!
