Hurricane Creek Recreational Area Sold!

Ed and Judy Frost have sold the Hurricane Creek Recreational Area (the pool and tennis courts off Hurricane Creek Road near Susan Carol Lane) to Hurricane Creek residents Ralph and Sharon McDarmont of Tamara Lane. Congratulations!

On behalf of the board I would like to express my gratitude to Ed and Judy for their hard work over the years. In my experience there's no cleaner pool in the area, nor one that offers a slide and diving board for the kids. It has been great to be a member there and I hope Ralph and Sharon can continue and build on the Frost's fine legacy.

Yard Sale Dates

Hurricane Creek homeowners are invited to hold a yard sale / garage sale the last Saturday in September and the last Saturday in April.

East Brainerd Road Widening Project

Larry Henry reported that construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2009 and should take 2-3 years to complete. There will be a first phase going from ACE Hardware to Bel Air and a second phase from Bel Aire to Ooltewah Ringgold Rd. The road will consist of 4 lanes with a middle turn lane. Jack Benson reported on several new roads and ramps in the works in East Brainerd to alleviate Shallowford and Gunbarrel Road traffic.

Status of Publix

Publix is scheduled to open early December, 2007. Given some continued opposition to the other Publix scheduled to open in the Snow Hill Road area, there is no guarantee that this one is sure to open. But we are optimistic that both will open and will be well-received. Publix is a quality store and it should do well in our area.

Road Repaving

Commissioner Larry Henry mentioned at today's meeting that he believed that ultimately the road repaving would not be limited to the roads done thus far, and that in the next few weeks, the main road, Hurricane Creek Road, would be done also.

This is good news, as it looks a bit awkward where the dark newly paved side roads meet the old, light grey main road. And some of these seams, such as at Susan Carol Lane, already extend well into the main road, giving an unattractive, patchy look. It will be good to have all the roads in good condition again and with a uniform look.

Thanks, Commissioner Henry!
