Carpenter Fire Station Road Widening Project Workshop
… We do want to let you know that we have gone ahead and scheduled the second workshop for this project. It will be held at the Crosspointe Church adjacent to the YMCA on Tuesday, November 12th between 4 and 7 PM. We will have updated plans showing the proposed four lane median divided roadway from Cameron Pond Drive to NC 55 including wide outside travel lanes, a five foot sidewalk on the north side, and a ten foot wide street-side trail on the south side to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians wishing to go from Cameron Pond to the YMCA, Crosspointe Church, and other designations. We will once again have our Town Staff and Consultant available to review the plans and answer questions about the project as well as the proposed traffic signals and pedestrian connectivity. We will also have staff available to answer questions about the proposed Carpenter Fire Station Road Park as well as the ongoing construction of the Carpenter Fire Station Road Realignment and railroad bridge east of NC 55.
Like with the first workshop held back on February 26th of this year we wanted to see if the HOA can help spread the word regarding this upcoming workshop. If so can you please let me know who we should contact. We are also working on getting information out about this workshop as well. In addition if there are any questions or anything you wish to discuss regarding the workshop or the project please let us know at this time. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at the workshop.

Town of Cary Paving Delay Notice
Earlier this week contractors working for the Town of Cary started removal of existing asphalt along Cameron Pond Drive, Magalloway, and Parkman Grant, south of Carpenter Fire Station Road. The plan was to start paving these areas back Wednesday, however they ran into unforeseen emergency issues on another project which has delayed the paving in Cameron Pond. The current plan is to start paving these areas next Monday, September 23. We have stopped removal of asphalt until Monday. All of the paving in Cameron Pond is scheduled to be complete by September 27, weather and emergencies permitting.
We have worked with the contractor to install asphalt ramps between old and new pavement and rubber ramps around existing utilities to protect vehicles. Please drive slow and with caution while driving over areas where asphalt has already been removed.
We appreciate your patience as we work to maintain the streets in your neighborhood. Please feel free to reach out to me via email amir.nezarati@townofcary.org.
Thanks,
Amir Nezarati
Town of Cary Transportation Engineer

Repairs & Enhancements
Bike Rack: The new bike rack is in place. Find it near the parking lot by the pool.
Tiles at monument on Shires side continue to be a challenge. We are looking at options to phase in a new neutral siding that will be easier to replace and repair as tiles in our development continue to age.
Good to Know:

Use key fob to enter the pool: For the safety of all residents and to alleviate any misunderstandings please make sure to use your key fob to enter the pool. When pool attendants are present we have asked them to verify only residents and their guests are at the pool. Each residence was provided one pool entrance fob. You are welcome to order an additional fob for a family member residing in your household. If you have lost your key fob, please contact Omega to order a new one. If a homeowner, including teens permitted to attend the pool without a chaperone, arrives at the pool without a key fob, they will be asked to provide some form of identification providing proof of residency.
Pool Attendant: We are looking for your feedback: board@cameronpond.com. Please let us know if you would like/dislike attendants to be contracted for the 2018/2019 season. We will review your constructive written feedback when looking at the proposal and budget for the next season.
