Love , Persephone and the lawnmower

CWT confronts the lawnmower — Persephone would take the lawnmower with her to hell every year but come April she’d bring it back.

CWT first cut — CWT always beat me to a first cutting in the spring. Before UVA/WTJU he worked for the County of Albemarle heading up a grounds crew.

Bike Ped Bridge survey

The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission is working to submit a bike-ped bridge proposal to VDOT later this year. The TJPDC is considering two potential bridge locations. One bridge would land at the end of Chesapeake Street, one would land at the end of Market Street.

They are interested in public input, so please consider taking the survey

It is a short survey, only takes a few minutes.

The Piedmont Environmental Council has assembled an excellent group of photos and maps + information about the proposal here.
