Annual MNA Picnic – October 13th from 4pm-7pm at Mountainview Park

MNA Picnic

The annual MNA picnic will be held at Mountainview Park on October 13th from 4pm-7pm.  Bring your family out to the park for a fun evening of food and music while getting a chance to meet new neighbors and reacquaint yourself with those you haven't seen in a while.  We will be serving a wide variety of Greek/Mediterranean food prepared under the direction of John Skevofilax.  Music will be provided by musician David Massey (tips appreciated, plus he'll be selling CD's).

Barring an emergency, the fire engine & firemen from the Four Iron station will be there about 4pm to answer questions anyone might have on fire safety, and of course allow the kids to get an up-close look at the truck and firefighting equipment.  We will also have pumpkin painting for the kids, and everyone is welcome to bring their own balls, Frisbees, kites, etc. for some fun at the park.

 

Greek to Go

Since we have members within the Mountain Neighborhood who are not able to attend the picnic due to illness, disability, or who are otherwise home bound, we are planning to deliver "Greek to Go" for these families on the evening of the picnic.  We were able to reach one of our MNA families last year and would like to add any others who may have similar circumstances.  If this service would be beneficial for your family, please contact Deborah Haines at  or by phone at 335‐0387 by Thursday, October 11, 2012 so we can verify membership and add you to our list of deliveries.  Remember, this is only intended for those who are truly homebound.

 

We look forward to seeing everyone at the picnic!

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.
