BEAUTIFICATION IDEA – New Flowering Trees & Shrubs

by

Blount County Soil Conservation is holding their 2017 Annual Fundraiser and offering bare root trees and shrubs at very low prices.  If your dogwood trees are over 20 years old, they may be more susceptible to disease and insects.  Lakemoor Hills will be the featured trail again (when our entry gets completed) for the Dogwood Arts Festival.  This is an excellent opportunity to get some new flowering plants started in your yard.  The deadline is February 17, 2017 to place an order.  

Alcoa Hwy: December 20, 2016

by

Charles Blalock & Sons, and their subcontractor Rogers Group is preparing to place asphalt base for the Maloney Road collector (roundabout). Once guardrail, asphalt pavement and pavement markings are installed, traffic will be turned onto the new section of roadway. This should allow for traffic to access Maloney Road and the adjacent properties without using the temporary runaround (see photo below).

Crews will be excavating for Wall #8 on the west side of Alcoa Hwy soon. In preparation for this work and subsequent fill activities on the opposite side of Alcoa near Mount Vernon, the contractor has excavated the grassy median section and placed stone fill. Trucks will be crossing Alcoa Hwy at this location (see below).

Bark for Your Park

by

PetSafe, a Knoxville based firm, is offering grants to build, maintain, or upgrade dog parks throughout the US.  Knoxville is the first city in the US to get a PetSafe dog park in downtown Knoxville.  Does anyone have interest in pursuing a possible grant to develop a portion of Maloney Road Park into a dog park?  It may not be a possible option with Knox County Parks, but if it is, then would anyone have interest?  This is the website for the grant information.  We would go for the $25,000 grant.  It may be able to be done through the Lakemoor Hills Resource Council, our neighborhood 501 (c) (3) . http://www.petsafe.net/barkforyourpark/
