Thomas Jefferson Park and Community Center
August 18-22, 2021

For more information about the Fair:  http://arlingtoncountyfair.us/

Typically, the Fair has provided a limited number of street-parking passes for restricted public parking areas near the fairgrounds.  Residents who have second vehicles registered at Arbors can request information from the management company about obtaining a public parking street pass on a first-come, first-served basis from TJ.  Registered vehicles with Arbors valid permanent parking permits are asked to park in the lots to leave room on the street for their neighbors with second vehicles. Regrettably, no street passes are available for visitors. There are five short-term visitor spots available in the big lot for Arbors visitors only. Residents may not park in visitor spots.

Arlington County and the Arlington Fair Board are providing an opportunity to voice opinions about the location of the annual fair.

Please take the following survey to voice your opinion as to whether the fair should stay at TJ across the street from us or move to Long Bridge Park.

Re:  S. Old Glebe Parking

The County is proposing to increase household eligibility, introduce parking options and permits for non residents, and raise permit and pass fees for restricted parking areas.

If S. Old Glebe is designated as a restricted area, annual parking fees could be established along with a limited number of permits allowed for school staff.

UPDATE:

​As of April 3, 2020 the CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.  Face coverings should be worn, and, preferably gloves, when exiting your unit to assist in this measure. 

Please note that Arlington County provides ongoing updates at this website:

COVID-19 UPDATES:

The impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on our community and our fellow citizens is top of mind for all of us. We appreciate the measures many of our neighbors are already taking to support one another and to keep yourselves and others healthy. As a precaution to help prevent the spread of germs, the Board has arranged for the custodial company to perform additional cleaning and disinfecting tasks in each building.
​
To help bolster those efforts, please keep the following health & safety suggestions in mind:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid touching your face, including eyes, nose, and mouth, with unwashed hands.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, or into your elbow rather than your hands.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, such as door knobs, light switches, keys, cell phones, and countertops.
• Stay home when you are sick. Find more information on what to do if you are sick here:
www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/steps-when-sick.html

Many of us are practicing social distancing, to the extent that we are able, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community. Please try to be extra courteous of your neighbors who may be working from home or who have their children at home while schools are closed. This includes being mindful of noise-producing activities, continuing to dispose of appropriate trash and recycling in the designated dumpsters and bins in the parking lots, avoiding/limiting in-unit smoking, and maintaining a more safe distance (minimum 6-10 feet) when entering/exiting and when outdoors with or without pets.

​For more detailed information about COVID-19, please visit www.cdc.gov.

Update:  Apologies for the unexpected return of the tree company on Sunday morning to remove the stumps.  They were due to return during the business week, but did not give warning of their schedule change.
—————————--
Please be aware that two leaning pine trees behind 24 and 30 are scheduled to be removed as a safety precaution. They are marked with yellow caution tape.

In the meantime, please avoid the nearby area until after the work is complete and the debris has been removed.

Please contact AMV with any questions or concerns.

Laundry equipment will be replaced in all five buildings on July 17. Please plan accordingly as the laundry rooms will be closed all day.

Front door replacements on all five buildings will occur August 5 and August 6 with a TBD completion date. Residents will need to make sure that they have working keys to access the rear doors while work is taking place. Contact AMV re:  procedures and fees for replacement keys, if needed.  Please note that residents should always have plans in place for ready access to a working key in the event of a power outage.
