****SEAL COATING PROJECT POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE 12****

Dominion Paving has rescheduled the Mews seal coating project for June 12-14.  We greatly apologize for the inconvenience you all have gone through during this most unpredictable time, and thank you for your patience.

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

Dominion Paving will be in The Mews June 12, 13, and 14 to seal our roads and parking areas. This will be a 3-day effort. On the day that your street is scheduled for work, all vehicles on your street and in your parking area must be moved by 6:30 a.m. Work will begin at 7:00 a.m. Any vehicles not moved by 6:30 will be towed at your expense.  Please move your cars to the access road (parallel to Route 50) or along other roads in the community not being re-sealed on your scheduled work day. Please DO NOT park in other owners’ reserved parking spaces.

Here is the work schedule:

Day One – Tuesday, June 12

• Readsborough Court
• Delburne Court
• Guysborough Drive between Eakin Park Court and Readsborough Court
• Asphalt walkway to the tennis courts

Day Two – Wednesday, June 13:

• Eakin Park Court – Upper and Lower
• Guysborough Drive between Eakin Park Court and the Circle (one side so Day One people will have access to their areas)
• Guysborough Parking Area – odd-numbered side (on the left upon entering The Mews)

Day Three – Thursday, June 14:

• Guysborough Drive between Eakin Park Court and the Circle (remaining side not done on Day Two)
• Guysborough Parking Area – Even-numbered side (on the right upon entering The Mews)
• Colchester Brook Drive

Here’s what to expect:  each day’s designated areas will be thoroughly power cleaned, including the curbs. Parking space numbers will be written on the curb with chalk. Areas will have sealant applied and striping and numbers will be reapplied the same day. Vehicles may not be returned to completed work areas until 7:00 the next morning.

THERE CAN BE NO PARKING ON GUYSBOROUGH BETWEEN THE CIRCLE AND READSOROUGH ON ANY OF THE DAYS.

Note: If rain is forecast, the schedule may have to be altered, as this work cannot be undertaken in the rain.  Check back frequently for updated information right here on our website:

NEW APP ALLOWS SMARTPHONE USERS TO REPORT CRIMES IN FAIRFAX COUNTY

For those of you who own smartphones, take notice:  A new app allows people to report crimes anonymously to the Fairfax County police via your smartphone.

Fairfax Crime Solvers announced today (April 24, 2012), that they were joining a number of local departments using Tip Submit. The mobile app is available free of charge for both the iPhone and phones with the Android operating system.

Users select the local crime solvers program to which they want to submit a tip. They then fill out a tip form, which allows users to select the type of crime, attach a photo and even geolocate the crime using the phone’s GPS feature. The tip is assigned a code and users can track correspondence about the issue with the local police department. Tip Submit is also used by several other local police departments, too.

Tip Submit guarantees its app is secure and the tips will remain anonymous. To download the app, go to:
