District Niners,

 

Here's hoping that you took some time to get outdoors to enjoy the very last sips of summer this weekend before the slip and sliding temperatures of autumn leading into winter begin. 

  • This week in the 9th, Vista West will host the community, the developer and constituents regarding the 301 Westfield Rd. project on Monday (October 12th) beginning at 5:30 PM. Questions from constituents continue to filter in with many offering suggestions as well as modifications to the proposed 301 Westfield Rd. plan.

 

  • On Thursday (October 15th), Engineering, represented by Jojo O'Brian, will host a Public Information Meeting via ZOOM to update constituents about the Attic Angels Greenway stabilization project located between Blackwolf Dr. and the ponds which includes sediment removal and other fixes.  See the PIM's announcement below.
  • Regarding the 301 Westfield Rd. project, do consider registering to speak and or submit your written statement (for the record) at the October 19, 2026 Plan Commission meeting.

 

  • The former Outback Steak House on Junction Rd.is scheduled for demolition.  In its place, the Credit Union (currently across the street) will become its new location.  Concerns have been expressed about traffic, especially for residents attempting to navigate their way across Junction Rd.  Again, do consider registering to speak and or submit your written statement at the October 19th Plan Commission meeting.
  • Coming soon: Planning is underway for a community meeting with the developer related to a project on Gammon Rd. north of Daves Hot Chicken and Crisp & Green. Check your USPS mailbox for information about the location, date and time.

Your well-being

If you have nothing to do…don't do it here!  There is plenty to do outdoors before the weather takes a downhill cruise.  Get out there and enjoy the various colors of autumn.  It is truly amazing.

Are you up to date on your influenza, COVID, RSV vaccines?  If not, it's not too late.  Remember, an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure.

Until next time, 

Joann
