vineyard sound — bright windy morning

Yeocomico

Yeocomico

Yeocomico is a Native American name roughly translated as “tossed to and fro by the waters.” Others suggest it is an Algonquian word that means “four dwelling places” since the river has a branch on either side with each dividing into two large forks.–Wikipedia

falling

q alba falls into water — There is always a larger older tree elsewhere. Who mourns this stately individual’s fall? The local squirrels and jays mourn. Very sad.

Cville Plans Together

west view Carlton Avenue 2003 — March 1 City Council endorsed the affordable housing plan, the lead piece of the three part Cville Plans Together effort. The three easy pieces, the housing plan, a rewritten “Comprehensive” plan and a rewritten zoning ordinance. Who will make the money from this effort? Who will loose?

Carlton Views III under construction — The 4.86 acre H.T.Ferron plant, once zoned for manufacturing, is now zoned for PUD. No one agrees what PUD is. That is what is so wonderful about PUD. You see what you want to see. Possibly we’ll rezone the entire city PUD?

uneasy marriage

CA stack CO tracks — It struck me this morning that the park I walk through owes much of its existence to successive technologies. The streetcar technology (smokestack above) has been abandoned. The other technologies that undergird this public space are sewage collection and high voltage electrical transmission.

dog running in snow woods — Rivanna trail, winter weather.

Geology and topography have graced the park with a river. So far, in our political wisdom, we have discouraged building in the river’s channel.

The industrial and the natural features maintain an uneasy balance, remarkably it feels like a park.

Carlton Views

phase IV — Work continues on multiple fronts on the Carlton Avenue PUD in East Belmont Carlton on the old 4.855 acre HT Ferron site. When complete the site will have a total of 154 affordable units. The development is happening in phases.

PACE — Phase 1 was the PACE center. Medical care, dental, medications, transportation, physical therapy, and social support. All-inclusive care that helps loved ones stay independent and in their own home. All-inclusive Healthcare. Currently they are closed.

Phase II was Carlton Views I. 48 Units I think. All affordable, all leased up…

Phase III, Carlton Views II is currently under construction.
Not sure regarding how many units. 48? 54? Will check. All affordable…

Phase IV, Carlton Views III will sit on the eastern-most edge of the lot. This piece of concrete is currently being busted up and removed to make way for the 3rd building of 48/54? affordable units. Will check

xxxxxxx. Place holder here. The quality of “open space” provided to residents remains to be seen.

Clothing optional

Lucy Vincent Beach — Low tide. Went for a walk. Surf covering the beach, nowhere dry to walk as opposed to last March. No one out making use of the clothing optional feature…

Horseneck Beach

The shadows and reflections at the waters edge are almost as good as weather.

Walked west and east on Horseneck Beach, a 2 mile long beach at the western end of Buzzards Bay

snow sea sand dog — A color version is on the Facebook.
