OLR Safety, Sidewalks & Drainage Update

September 6, 2012 Update from Charlottesville Engineer Tony Edwards:

There has been a lot of positive movement towards completing the necessary property transactions. City Council has met on August 20th & September 4th about items related to the sale of property to the city and the city conveying a strip of existing right of way along Old Lynchburg Road to the Fry’s Spring Beach Club. Both parties are moving forward with finalizing the remaining details relating to the agreement. One more right of way request was deeded to the city yesterday.  It is expected that 1 more right of way acquisition will be finalized this Friday. Out of the 9 total right of way requests required only one should be remaining after this week. The owner & mortgage company have agreed with the city’s request, however they are working the terms of their internal process. We hope to have the results of their meeting next week.
