This Public Notice in from City of Olympia for the Medela Rezone request.
Public Meeting to be held April 23rd at the ORLA Facility see the attached PDF for details.
This informational news was sent to the President. I am sharing it so the neighborhood knows;
My name is Kevin McFarland and I am the consulting arborist working for the City of Olympia. I have been tasked with conducting tree risk assessments of the Legion Way trees and supervising tree removal and replacement efforts as part of this project. The project area is between Central and Plum Street. There have been 9 trees identified as ‘High’ risk. These trees have been earmarked for removal. The City has sent out request for quotes to area tree contractor (small works roster). The quotes have been received and the City is in the process of review and with the anticipation of awarding a contract. If this goes through the trees will be removed later this month or in May. There will be 9 red oak trees replanted along Legion Way following tree removal. I will be dropping off letters to the adjacent properties tomorrow informing them as to the upcoming project.Please feel free to contact me if you or anyone has questions.Sincerely,Kevin McFarlandSound Urban Forestry, LLC870-2511 – su*****@*****st.net

NOTICE OF
2014 CAPITAL CITY MARATHON
MAY 18, 2014
Please factor the Capital City Marathon into your morning plans on Sunday May 18th. Our event is large enough that it could affect your mobility at times on Sunday morning. Depending on where you live on the race routes, it is conceivable that your ability to get somewhere or to return home that morning might be impacted.
The marathon run begins at 7:00 a.m., the half-marathon begins at 7:45 a.m. and the five-mile run begins at 8:00 a.m. You can go to the Capital City Marathon website to look at the course map to find out where your house is on the course.
The vast majority of marathon runners will finish between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Most half-marathon runners will finish by 10:45 a.m. The five-mile race will be done by 9:30 a.m. Those attending churches located along the race courses may be delayed due to runners on the road depending on the time your service begins and ends.
We have volunteers and local law enforcement directing traffic to ensure runner safety and to keep vehicles moving safely. We try to minimize the inconvenience but be aware of the event and please be patient.
Thank you in advance for your tolerance and patience on race day.
Jim Lux, President and Course Safety Coordinator, Capital City Marathon Association
