Adjusted Pool hours take effect Thursday, Aug. 6; weekend hours stay the same

Image
With the return of school, many of our lifeguards are unavailable during the day, so starting this week our Pool hours of operation will be adjusted. Effective Thursday, Aug. 6, our weekday hours are 4 to 8 p.m. through Sept. 4. Weekend and Labor Day hours remain the same: noon to 8 p.m. We know this may be inconvenient for some, but we can’t help but remind residents that we’ve been open every day since Memorial Day. Not every area Pool can say that, including nearby Sahm Park Pool , which had to close for the summer due to lack of staff. The secret to our success: the dedication and hard work of our Pool managers and lifeguards. The next time you’re at the Pool, please thank them for their work this year, because without them summers would be a lot different for many families. Facilities Manager Ken Burns has been especially busy this year keeping our aging facility going, due largely to several first-time health department training and equipment requirements. Thank you for your und...

Are Tanager Lane’s speed bumps too bumpy? Let the city know

Image
Here's an update from the Eagle Nest Street Team (a made-up name, yes, but it takes a team effort to get potholes patched, signs fixed, etc.) It’s great that we got Tanager Lane repaved, but we’re working to fine-tune a couple of items, and you can help. They’ve replaced the speed bumps that were taken out, but we’re hearing that the bumps might have come in a little too high. As one resident told us: “We live on Tanager Lane, and while we are very happy with the resurfacing job that was done, I wondered if the speed bumps might be a little too tall. If we don't slow down to a crawl, the bottom of our car scrapes the speed bump. I guess some people would say that's the whole point of speed bumps, but I think these are higher than any other speed bumps I've seen before.” Board member John Strauss is our temporary lead for streets and sidewalks — and we’re looking for a volunteer, in case that role sounds interesting. Sunday, he got to work after hearing from three res...

Tanager Lane close to completion, but drive slowly and watch for “wrong way” traffic

Image
There's repaving progress to report in Eagle Nest -- and a word of caution. The progress: The west side of Tanager Lane was repaved Tuesday afternoon, meaning the job is half done. Department of Public Works (DPW) crews planned to start on the other side Wednesday, weather permitting. "Our operations crews were a little delayed in starting the project today because a piece of equipment broke down," said Dhara Marquez, the Mayor's Neighborhood Advocate for our area. We've asked her for any updates, including a confirmation that the job will include restoring the speed bumps. We'll let you know what we hear. While the work is underway, let's be sure to extend our usual neighborly grace as traffic patterns are shifted. It can be confusing: One neighbor entering Tanager from Teel Way at 3 p.m. on Tuesday was directed to stay off the new pavement, even though another crew down the street earlier said it was OK to use. Instead, our resident was directed to head ...

Proposed neighborhood amendment in mailboxes now! Finally! After more than a year of preparation, listening to resident feedback and working with our legal counsel, we distributed important updates to the neighborhood’s governing documents. On Sunday, July 12, all lot owners received in their mailbox the Board’s proposed amendment revision for review and – we hope – your approval. The proposal, prepared by our legal counsel KSN, seeks to update our controlling documents to address rental properties, street parking, commercial vehicles, and trash carts. Your envelope will contain a cover letter, a copy of the proposed revisions, and a proxy form to cast your vote. Your packet also includes a Fine Policy and Fee Schedule approved by the Board at the June Board meeting.
