July 2012 - Lee Highway Undergrounding Completion Punch List
The following represents the first half of the CCA’s Lee Highway punch list. The photos and notes (below) were amassed during a walking tour initiated and led by Maureen Ross, President of the Cherrydale Citizens Association, on July 31, 2012. The tour started at the I-66 overpass on Lee Highway, traveled up the south side of Lee Hwy to the 5 pts intersection at Military Rd, then down Lee Hwy on the north side of the street to the I-66 overpass.
This tour was conducted with County Design Engineering Supervisor Robert Froh, County utility engineer Abe Abibizadeh, Fred Parry, Sr. Manager, Transmission and Distribution Projects at Dominion Virginia Power. Coming an hour late was Gustavo Castellon, Construction Coordinator for Comcast. Also late was Doug Passley, Ground Line Manager, Dominion Power. Michael Collins (Chief Engineer and responsible for the utility undergrounding project) was unable to attend. Verizon was a no-show. Tom Korns from Cherrydale attended. Tour was led by Maureen Ross, President, Cherrydale Citizens Association.
A link to these photos (scroll below) is being sent to the County Manager’s office as a reminder of their to-do list in finalizing the first half of the Lee Highway undergrounding project. See also Cherrydale Newsletter article, ‘Lessons Learned’ from Aug/Sep 2012.

May 3, 2013 Follow-Up
Paint has been refreshed.
Maureen Ross: "Here is what it looked like today. Thank you Terry (Yates, VDOT) for sending Richard Supinger to check it out."
Maureen Ross: "To the left on the median are the cheery trees planted in 1999. To the right the tree saplings there have been replaced twice since 1999. This is an example of how tall the cherry trees are that were planted in 1999, and if our lee hwy trees weren’t always dying, we’d have AT LEAST that height."

Maureen Ross: "Took this photo this morning. The more i look the more i think the easy solution is a six inch wide diagonal trench in sidewalk with a metal grate cover, so water runs across and into street. I confirmed with mr wilson who uses the stop daily that he and others really need some help at this stop. Recall it has been in both lee hwy tours 2012 and 2011 and we discussed it Shannon at the 4/5/13 meeting."
Maureen Ross: "Can anything be done? Metro corridor doesn't look this way."
