Eagle Nest residents, Miller Pipeline of Indianapolis is continuing its work to upgrade our aging sewer lines. The company notified residents via letter recently that it would be in the neighborhood with its equipment this month (usually two or three large white utility trucks and several workers). The work involves inserting a sewer liner the length of existing sewer lines and likely will be centered around manhole covers and curb drains. To avoid disruption, the company asks residents: > To limit water usage that may discharge to the sewer system (including shower, washing machines, diswashers, toilets, etc.). Excess use could result in sewer backup. The company suggests running a little faucet water to fill the pipe traps so odors don't enter your home. > Do not park vehicles in the street near the work areas. > Be advised that due to weather this schedule may change. Questions/concerns may be directed to Richard Gregory at (317) 695-3895. The comp

Eagle Nest residents, Do you want to know the latest on the proposed 82nd Street Widening Project, set to begin this summer? Mark your calendar for a public meeting at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 12, at Lawrence North High School, Room 195. According to the Indy.gov website , the $14 million project "will improve commuter and pedestrian safety from Hague Road to Fall Creek Road. The infrastructure improvements include widening the corridor from two travel lanes to four, street resurfacing, the addition and repair of sidewalks, curbs and Americans with Disabilities Act compliant access ramps, as well as drainage improvements where needed." At least two public meetings have been held in the past year. However, Wednesday's meeting is sure to include discussion of several topics concerning residents in Castle Cove and Castleton Estates. And because those developments are our neighbors, these issues will affect us, too: > The project could be pushed back to 2015. &

More than dozen people turned out for the inaugural Eagle Nest Winter Beer Fest on Saturday night at the Clubhouse. Participants brought more than 12 growlers of homecrafted and locally brewed beers, ranging from IPAs to blonds to flavored darks and more. Local breweries represented included Three Wise Men, Black Acre and Triton. The Eagle Nest Social Committee threw in for some light snacks, including some soft drinks (which surprisingly went unopened the entire night). Suffice to say, nearly all the the growlers were gone when the event broke up about midnight. There were card games, socializing among new and longtime residents and plenty of laughs. Resident Charlie Corkwell, husband of social committee member Angie Corkwell, stole the show by bringing several of his homemade batches, as well as a mini fridge fitted with a tap (Clubhouse Manager Kelly Wright is on probation for taking the last glass of that hugely popular beer.). Thanks also to Charlie for bringing h

Eagle Nest residents, As you may know, Indianapolis is expected to get 4 to 7 inches of snow starting tonight and through Wednesday afternoon. Please be a good neighbor and keep our roads and cul-de-sacs clear of vehicles so our plowing contractors can do their work quickly and efficiently. Vehicles left on the street create create extra work and labor hours for our crews, which translates into a bigger bill for the neighborhood association and ultimately could affect our annual dues -- and nobody wants that! Further, plowed in vehicles can be hazardous to drivers because of large mounds of snow packed around them, making visibility of the roadway difficult. As always, the Board thanks you for your cooperation and patience as our snow plow crews do their excellent work. -- Submitted by Scott Thien
