Thanks for the memories. We look forward to seeing your new incarnation. On 4 September.
Thanks to Blue Ridge Internetworks
Thanks, Blue Ridge Internetworks, for the years of hosting.
RealCrozetVA has been hosted with Blue Ridge Internetworks for several years. I don’t know what generated the email, but one day I received an email from Baylor Fooks offering to host RealCrozetVA, gratis. I’ve said before that I write this site purely for the community as I love Crozet and the goal of RealCrozetVA has remained the same since its inception in September 2005.
So, thanks, Blue Ridge, for supporting community news and conversation and for offering phenomenal support on the very few times I’ve needed it. I know I haven’t said it enough, but I (and the readers) sincerely appreciate your support.

Summary of Last Night’s CCAC Meeting – 15 August 2013
Lamentably, I had to leave about 30 minutes early.
Click through, scroll to the bottom and read the tweet summary I put together if you’re interested. Schools, Crozet Library, a Crozet crime update of sorts, infrastructure concerns and more.
Importantly:
Old library closing on 24 August. New Crozet library soft opening 4 September. Reminder: be nice to staff as they open

Crozet Library Nearly Finished, Streetscaping Underway, North Sidewalk Soon
It’s amazing what one can learn when one pays attention to what the Board of Supervisors discuss … particularly when Charlottesville Tomorrow points out that the Board is discussing such matters.
The Office of Facilities Development Capital Projects Status Report pdf is here.
In summary:
– Crozet Library should be complete in August
– Crozet Streetscape Phase II has all of the rights of way and utility dedications – plan for 14 months construction
– Crozet North Sidewalk – Bid and award in 3rd Quarter 2013 – plan for 3 months construction
– Crozet Parks’ roads will be resurfaced this year
Dig in. Get informed.

More Break-ins In Crozet
Lock your cars. Opportunistic thieves are back. A couple neighborhoods near Crozet Park had cars gone through and items stolen Saturday night. And I got this message last night:
Hi, thought you might want to share on your page and twitter that the car break ins are continuing, Westhall was hit last night (Saturday) at least three cars, and a flat screen TV found in some bushes by a playground. Didn’t want to post directly as I don’t want this reading to ID me, worried I may become a target. But people should know, so I thought your page may be a better communication method. Thanks.
Crozet Trails Crew 5k Trail Run – 12 October 2013
Registration is now open for the Crozet Trails Crew 5k Trail run on 12 October 2013. What better way to learn about the coming Crozet Greenway?
The course –
The future Crozet Connector Trail (Crozet Greenway), starting and finishing at Crozet Park. This is a somewhat rugged trail course with a few stream crossings and varied trail conditions through scenic eastern Crozet.
Crozet Trails Crew Finishing Adam George Bridge
More photos to come … huge thanks, as always to the Crozet Trails Crew for building the (what I perceive to be largely underutilized) trails in Crozet!
See on Flickr all the photos that Ron took.
Volunteers are always welcome … they are next going to reset the Joseph Taylor Bridge and are next going to be building the third bridge on the trails!
