HCA STREAM RESTORATION STARTS @ MON SEP 19

Reston Association announced earlier this week that the long-awaited $870,000 HCA Stream Restoration project between Blocks 1 and 2, including the custom Goodman-style footbridge designed by Block 3 resident Ralph P. Youngren FAIA, was finally funded and will begin next month.  Completion is planned for December 2016, earlier than as reported by RA, and should not impact use or possible Fall 2016 asphalt repaving of Maple Ridge Road.  HCA reported a tentative September 2016 start and related information in a December 2015 HCA website post.  RA funded and completed related HCA pond dredging last summer.  Project Manager Wetland Studies and Solutions Inc. will present a public information update to RA DRB at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at RA Headquarters, 12001 Sunrise Valley Dr.  WSSI provided HCA with an advance copy of the August 16 RA DRB presentation, and is coordinating a construction site walk-and-talk with WSSI project leaders on either Saturday morning August 20 or 27 for HCA Directors and residents.  HCA encourages all interested residents to attend, and will post more information here when available.
