Tree work on Jarman’s Gap

I’ve fielded a couple of questions over the past few days …

Any idea why they are doing the major tree clear cutting on jarmans rd? Could this be for the widening/sidewalks or dominion clipping to prevent power outages?

And:

Over the past 2 days they have been taking down what appears to be most of the trees on the southern side of Jarmans Gap Road starting from the west end. Is this for the sidewalks? Just curious if you happened to hear anything, sorry if I missed anything about it.

So … what’s going on?

From Jack Kelsey with the County of Albemarle:

The sidewalk will be on the north side of JGR only. Utility relocations are planned for the south side and must be completed before VDOT bid the construction contract. So the tree removal is most likely associated with the utility relocation activities.

And from Howard Tomlinson, Project Manager of VDOT confirms:

Yes the sidewalk is planned only on the northern side of Rte.691 under the UPC 11129 project. Any tree removal at this time will be for utility relocation.

Crozet VA Relocation Blog

I’m not it, but I’d like to think RealCrozetVa is a good resource for those moving to the area and for those who live here.

I love digging through search terms that bring people to my blogs. This was an interesting one last week … someone from New York searching for resources to educate themselves on Crozet.

I assume they’re contemplating moving to the Crozet area; what are the things you would tell someone moving to Crozet?

1 – Read the Crozet Gazette.

2 – Educate yourself about the Crozet schools. (Western Albemarle High School, Henley Middle School, Crozet Elementary, Brownsville Elementary, Field School …)
