The crews are working to put the finishing touches on the JPA Bridge!!

Check out some of the pix from Bike Walk Play JPA, and feel free to post your own!

Thank you to all of the organizers of today's Bike Walk and Play JPA! We really want this to be an annual event.

With only a few square feet taken up by construction equipment now, bikers and pedestrians were free to enjoy the new bridge.

Friday, July 13. The sidewalk on the new bridge opens!

Thanks, Chris Stover with the Newsplex (https://www.facebook.com/StoverReporter) for this great story on the CashMob yesterday! We hope the mob brought some attention and cash register love to Wayside Takeout & Catering & Ole Virginia Fry Chicken, Hoo's Brew, Wayside Barber, JPA FastMart and Durty Nelly's Pub and the Wayside Deli. http://bit.ly/NewsplexCashMobStory

Cash Mob Floods JPA Shops with Much-needed Business The Charlottesville Cash Mob struck again Saturday afternoon in an effort to help five Jefferson Park Avenue businesses affected by a bridge replacement project.

There is hope, though; construction is really moving along. We hope the merchants can hang on long enough to make it until the bridge opens again in a couple of months.

Oops! Just across the street from Atlas coffee. A truck turning from Maury Road onto Fontaine Avenue snagged a guide line from a utility pole and pulled down the whole assembly--transformers and all. Too much excitement for our corner of the world!!
