Tree – The additional maple tree (as discussed in the February 2020 Hayfield News on page 13) was recently cut down as planned. It was originally scheduled to be removed by mid-February so there may have been some confusion because this did not happen until the end of March—but it is indeed the same tree. The article said the tree was “near 7721 Hayfield Road” but the houses actually closest are 7711 and 7712 Hayfield Road.
Monitors – On April 1, three vibration monitors were deployed/installed near this same area. Garney (the construction company) will be working near the monitors early next week, i.e., about April 6 or so. Project Manager Dave Anglin has asked them to surround the monitors with safety fencing to try protecting against anyone interfering with their operation. The monitors sensing mechanism can be disrupted by interference and provide false readings. So, it is important that everyone stay away from these vibration monitors. These are installed as close as possible to the structures within the public right-of-way (ROW). The VDOT maintained ROW extends approximately 2 feet on the house side of the sidewalk.
Please Obey “No Parking” Signs – Near the same area (where the tree was removed), on April 1 a car was parked in the single northbound travel lane blocking traffic and not honoring the No Parking signs. Drivers were forced to use the southbound lane. Vehicles parked in such a manner pose safety risks and logistical challenges and are likely to be towed going forward. Please do not park in the travel lanes during the times that your section of Hayfield Road is clearly marked via orange cones as two-lanes. Thank you all for your cooperation.
