Dangerous Blind Spot on Jefferson Park Avenue?

A Robertson Avenue neighbor raised a concern at the June Fry's Spring Neighborhood Association meeting regarding the blind spot created by the new "Welcome to Fry's Spring" sign when turning left onto Robertson Avenue from Jefferson Park Avenue. He shot a video to illustrate his concern. The map below shows the route the video depicts.

Old Lynchburg Road Safety, Sidewalks and Drainage Update

Hello everyone,

I have copied Finley’s schedule for the month of June. Once the weather clears we should be seeing a great deal of activity and production. They are attempting to complete the project ahead of schedule and your continued cooperative spirit and willingness to adjust as needed really is appreciated. Finley will have a crew on site tomorrow, 6/8/2013, to address the potholes that have been enlarged due to the bad weather and high volume of traffic.  We encourage anyone who can avoid driving on Old Lynchburg Road to do so for the next 2 to 3 weeks, so that this work can be completed early without too many interruptions.

Cleveland (and JPA) Street Clean Up a Success!

Thanks to those members of the Fry's Spring neighborhood who came out this morning to help make our neighborhood a little bit cleaner. Despite gloomy skies the rain held off until we had not only picked up trash from both sides of Cleveland Avenue (from Cherry Avenue to Jefferson Park Avenue), but had also cleaned along JPA all the way to the new bridge!

Let's Clean Up Our Neighborhood! (or at least a small part of it)

This Saturday, the 8th of June, at 9:00 am, interested neighbors can meet in front of the Cherry Avenue Christian Church for a street clean-up of Cleveland Avenue from the intersection with Cherry Avenue up to Jefferson Park Avenue. If there is time will will continue down Jefferson Park Avenue. We will be done in an hour. Children are welcome and please bring gloves if you have them.

Rain will cancel this event.

For more information please contact phedlund @ gmail.com.
