The above photo is from the cut area above Wall #8. From this view you can see the cuts near Barber Hill and the fills at Mt. Vernon. Vegetation is starting to grow in these areas as well as above the wall. You can also see from this photo the crews working on the wall. At this time the wall is the critical activity of the project. Crews are continuing to work on other construction activities along the route as well, including storm drain installation and utility relocations. Crews will also start working on Collector Road #1 at Maloney Road beginning Monday, September 11, 2017. Motorist should expect to see detours to Ginn Dr.
Below are a close-ups of the Wall #8 construction.

Need Help with Doggie Waste Bag Distribution
Hi Neighbors, I am looking for a person to assist the LHHA Beautification Committee by being responsible for checking the two doggie waste stations on the walkway at the church and refilling the dispensers with plastic bags when they get empty. They need refilling once every few months. We will bring you the keys to the dispensers and a supply of bags. Please email Kathy Proctor at [email protected] if you would like to help. Thank you!!
Nextdoor Lakemoor Hills Solicitation
Many of you received a solicitation recently from a company asking you to subscribe to a social media site titled Nextdoor. It appeared to have originated from within our neighborhood, but was actually posted by a company in California. They offered services that we are currently enjoying through the LHHA website www.lakemoor.org and our neighborhood Facebook page. Our Communications team has been investigating the option, but we can see no value to subscription for our members. So I want to let you know that LHHA does not endorse the site and does not plan to recommend subscription by members of Lakemoor Hills. Please let us know if you have any questions. Have a great summer!

Grading and fill operations are going well. Material from the large cut on the west side of Alcoa Hwy where Wall #8 is located is being hauled to the low area south of Montlake Dr. from Alcoa Hwy to Lynbrulee Ln. The photo below shows the haul road and benches in that cut. On the east side of Alcoa Hwy you can see the cut near Barber Hill Ln. Storm drain and utility relocations are also being installed and are on schedule.
Below you can see the view from Montlake Dr. looking south across the fill area where Ramp A will be constructed, connecting Montlake Dr. to Collector 3.
Weather Outages
It appears that last night most of the peninsula lost power during the storm. Some of you have had power restored. Lakemoor still has a tree with lines down at Carriage Ln. Any others still have problems?
