Special Crozet Avenue Streetscape Update

September 2, 2014


As previously advised, (see full Streetscap Update)  crosswalk installation across Crozet Avenue and Jarmans Gap Road started last week (August 25-29). This requires the installation of temporary "bumps" at each crosswalk. "Bump Ahead" signs have been posted to warn motorists of the changing road conditions. Please drive slowly over these temporary bumps, remain alert and drive/walk carefully when traveling through the construction zone. Thank you for your patience and courtesy to motorists, pedestrians and workers during this difficult phase of construction.

This work should be complete within 2 to 3 weeks (by September 12 or 19).

Please drive carefully throughout the construction zone and follow all posted signage.

If you have concerns or questions about the Crozet Streetscape, Albemarle County's Project Manager is Frank Pohl.  He can be reached via email to: fpohl@albemarle.org or by phone: 434-872-4501, ext. 9-7914 or mobile: 434-466-7458.  He has office hours at the Crozet Library on Wednesdays from Noon to 1:00 PM

Welcome to Crozet sign stolen!

August 23, 2014

Welcome to Crozet sign

Last Saturday night (August 16) someone stole the "Welcome to Crozet" sign that is on Rte 240 across from the Rivanna Water & Sewer treatment plant (near Highlands subdivision).  If you have any information about the theft or the whereabouts of the sign, please contact Albemarle County Police at 434-977-9041 or crimestoppers@albemarle.org  
These signs were paid for by donations from residents of Crozet organized by the CCA.  We'll be fundraising in September if we can't get the sign back.
