MNA Fall Picnic
The MNA Fall Picnic is fast approaching! In addition to great food and an opportunity to connect with friends, this year we are very excited to present our very first MNA Annual Outdoor Concert at the park. We will have live music by a very talented local musician / song-writer who will brighten up your Sunday evening with a wide variety of musical genres suitable for every age and taste. So plan to bring a blanket or lawn chairs to sit on and enjoy a fun filled evening with your family and friends!
As always, we need volunteers to make it happen; please help if you can. Just a couple of hours of your time can help with making this event happen!
We have a signup available online:

AWU Letter of Commitment Concerning Shaft Construction
Bull Creek Ranch, the Mountain, and other nearby neighborhoods have been in discussions with AWU to minimize the impact of the Jollyville Transmission Main shaft on the surrounding neighborhoods. The result is the attached Letter of Commitment from AWU to the neighborhood residents which sets forth the guidelines under which the construction will be performed.
Letter of Commitment Overview
The full Letter of Commitment can be found at the "1 attachment" link below this article (or just click here)
- Surface work hours from 7am-7pm M-F, 9am-5pm Saturday
- Heavy equipment traffice only from 9am-3pm
- Control dust during construction
- No construction traffic in neighborhoods or parking at the Mountain entrance/streets
- Wood security fence, area cleared of trash daily
- On-site lighting will be minimal and directed downwards
- After completion, no above-grade structures and area will be restored
We have also asked that the site be connected to the PEC power grid to minimize the use of generators and the noise associated with them.
While this helps set expectations and guidelines for the project, it is important to realize that the construction impacts to our neighborhoods will still be significant. The initial phase of the construction is tentatively scheduled to start late 2011 or early 2012 and will last approximately 3 months. During this time, dynamite will be used to excavate the 30' wide and 120' deep shaft. We have been told by the city and construction contractors that this will be a very loud and disruptive phase of construction.

Mountain Neighborhood-wide Garage Sale – Saturday, April 16th, 8am-noon
The Mountain will host a neighborhood garage sale on Saturday, April 16th from 8am-noon. Several residents had discussed this idea on the Google Group in order to coordinate individual sales, so a big thanks to Kara Thompson for organizing this for our neighborhood. We are not organizing a central location for a single sale, so to participate simply host a garage sale at your house on the 16th. We will be placing signs at the neighborhood entrances, but you may need to place individual signs on internal streets to direct buyers to your house.
If you are hosting a garage sale, the MNA asks that you please pick up any litter at your house and surrounding houses after the sale. We would also like to remind everyone (whether hosting a sale or not) to be aware that there will be additional people in the neighborhood that weekend. Please be aware of this and ensure that items not intended for sale do not disappear, whether accidentally or intentionally, by closing garage doors, moving toys/bikes from front yards, etc.
