All road intersections and driveways, scheduled to be paved, have been milled. Starting
Monday, October 3rd, they will be paved. The paving with start with Cambridge Hill and Mcgregor Ct., then move to the Q2 section, and finish up at Scottish Homes. The contractor indicates that it will take six working days to complete the work. Of course, this is an estimate and dependent upon the weather.
|
|
Remember: stay off the wet tar that will be sprayed on the road to be paved just before the asphalt is applied. One lane for traffic will always be open for cautious travel.
FYI, the paving of these roads completes a seven-year project to bring all roads currently owned by the Glenmore Community Association up to standard at a total cost of $1,519,720 or an average cost of $288 per lot per year.

It took just over a year but on August 18th, the deed transferring 79.7 acres of Common Area and residual parcels with an assessed value of $80,000 from the original developer, Glenmore Associates (GALP) to the Glenmore Community Association (GCA), was recorded. While most of the land is wooded, two parcels add significantly to the GCA Common area – the 3.5 acre Sports Field parcel adjacent to the Water Treatment Plant and a 4 acre parcel at the corner of Glenmore Way and Piper Way. The Common Area Review Board has begun looking at future uses of these two parcels.

Rules of the Road (Pedestrian)
|
|
|
|
For your safety, ALWAYS make use of paved walking paths where available. And where that is not possible,
walk on the left side of the street, facing traffic.
Yes, Glenmore, there are
security patrols. From time to time and especially around holidays, the GCA employs off-duty Albemarle Police to patrol our streets. Their assistance has been found to be an effective deterrent for vandalism and theft.
|
|
However, security at Glenmore is a community responsibility. If you see something, call the Albemarle County police (434) 977-9041 (non-emergency) or 911 (emergency). Then contact the gatehouse at
gatehouse@glenmore-community.org or (434) 977-7019 to make sure they are in the loop.
