Paving Update – Our 2026 Roads Repaving project is complete – and a great success! Many thanks go to the Roads Committee for their diligence in the legal and financial planning, the savvy business and logistics planning, and the final execution and closeout! Johnson Paving was chosen through an arduous bidding process, and they proved to be an outstanding partner. Many thanks to our POA Board of Directors for their sage leadership and direction to enable the project to come to pass. Finally, many thanks to each of you in the community… we are aware of zero complaints in the neighborhood, all traffic control crews coordination was followed and many blocked off their driveways to avoid tracking any tar onto concrete driveways. Bottom line is we all pulled together as a team – and we won as one!
Asphalt is a petroleum product that must cure for at least two weeks before we can paint the single white centerline with Georgia DOT-approved glass bead reflective paint. The end product will be safer than reflectors, look nicer and last longer! The temporary centerline markers are hard to see – but temporary, until the permanent line will be painted in early November. In the meantime, PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
The next phases of paving will be primarily driven by the needs of the roads themselves… but we are developing a plan that balances need vs affordability vs aesthetics… more to come on this in 2027!
Mailbox Sprucing Up – Now that a quarter of our community’s roads has gotten a facelift, it’s a great time for our mailboxes to join the glow-up! Please look at your mailbox post, box, and address sign. Give everything a good cleaning, touch up paint or stain, make sure your address signs are easy to read, and clear away any weeds or clutter around the base. And while you are at it, remove any unnecessary trinkets, signs, etc. that have overstayed their welcome. Let’s keep our mailboxes looking sharp and The Preserve looking its best!
Happy Hour – This Sunday, October 25th, from 5:00–7:00 PM. Join us at The Lodge for a cozy fall Happy Hour! Elizabeth Wilke will be your host, and a Caramel Apple Bar will be waiting for you! A little sweet, a little sticky, and a whole lot of fall deliciousness! As always, bring your favorite beverage (BYOB) and, if you’d like, an appetizer or treat to share.
Cul-de-Sac Social – Friday, November 6 – Grab your favorite fall sweater and join us for a little neighborhood fun in the Mystic Waters Court cul-de-sac! Cool, crisp air, friendly faces, and a chance to catch up with neighbors. What could be better? More details to come, but for now mark your calendars. We hope to see you there!
