Take the survey on the Three Notch'd Trail routes. The survey closes on 31 January.

My advice: ignore the virtual room; just download the PDFs and zoom in.

The Three Notched Trail Shared Use Path planning process is an exciting project that aims to create a multi-purpose trail connecting Charlottesville, Crozet, Albemarle County, and Nelson County. The Three Notched Trail will provide a safe, car-free route for locals and

We can have nice things. Will be interesting to see the routes.

Trail Mix: Albemarle County will preview three potential routes for a 24-mile mixed-use path connecting the Blue Ridge Tunnel, Crozet, and Charlottesville in a December 4 meeting. Read more: http://www.c-ville.com/albemarle-county-to-display-routes-for-three-notched-trail-at-community-meeting.

I can think of several places in Crozet where guerrilla crosswalks would be good.

Fed up of waiting for the city to tackle traffic fatalities, Angelenos are taking street safety into their own hands — one bucket of paint at a time.

What's on my mind?

The Albemarle County Budget is on my mind.

"Bowman noted that the gaps in this year’s plan are projected to be less severe than in previous years. That’s in part because Supervisors agreed to a four-cent increase in the real property tax rate earlier this year.

“That provided funding for public safety and housing and school items that were part of last year’s five year plan,” Bowman said. “And that roughly $12.4 million that was approved is ongoing and now gets applied to all years of the plan.”

For FY2026, staff anticipates that 67 percent of revenues will come from real property taxes and of that number, 68.4 percent comes from residential, 5.2 percent is generated from multifamily apartment complexes, and 11.3 percent comes from commercial. Different costs are associated with each category as Supervisors learned at a work session in May.

“For every dollar that is generated from the county, it costs different amounts of services to provide to residential properties,” Bowman said. “For the primary reason that we think of the largest expense in the county’s budget is education. Residential is the tax base that is providing those students.”

This is one reason Supervisors have supported a push toward economic development in Albemarle in the hopes of generating more commercial tax revenue. An economic development strategic plan was adopted in August intended to accomplish that goal. Bowman said any gains will be added to the five-year financial plan going forward."

The five-year plan is one of the steps along the way to the presentation of the FY27 budget in late February

I write a note every month, often about real estate.

One of the segments this month:

Settling down | Neighbors Matter

“I want people to know my name,” a client said to me recently. He wants to live somewhere long enough to have relationships build and develop -— at the coffee shop, barber shop, local stores and with neighbors. I love that goal, and am grateful for the opportunity to assist.

-

“I got in trouble with my neighbors for leaving my neighborhood in the snow and not coming back for a few days.”

Someone told me this story recently. She moved into her new home. It immediately snowed, they lost power, and she walked away to be with friends. She did not yet know her new neighbors.

When she returned a few days later they set upon her, telling her how worried they were, and she should have told them!

She’s been there for a few years now and loves her neighbors and neighborhood. Good neighbors are valuable.

November 2025 | November. When we start mornings below 30º and end the days closer to 70º.This month: Do I need a Realtor? Settling down. Disconnecting hoses.

Handicapped parking is now painted in the Square.

And we continue to live in a beautiful place.

Tonight would be a great night to turn off your exterior lights - such as the photosensitive ones that turn on automatically (and then you know, leave them off in perpetuity).

Better to see the northern lights!
