Our Town

Continuing Coverage of Project Heron - Part 3 We continue to receive positive responses and encouragement to continue our coverage of Project Heron. If you are new to this story, begin by reviewing our two previous reports, which you can find by clicking Part 1 and Part 2.

In this week’s issue, we will review another one of the most common and most important questions about Project Heron. Please take time to review the bridge design risks that threaten the Eastern Avenue Connector project and use them to inform discussions with your neighbors, including at the Crozet Community Advisory Committee (CCAC) which meets this evening at 7:00PM at the Crozet Library.

Your Question:   Why does the length of the Project Heron bridge matter so much?

Our Answer: If the bridge isn’t long enough to meet state and federal floodplain standards, the Eastern Avenue Connector is unlikely to get approved or built.  The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has cautioned Albemarle County that its current bridge design is too short and that it faces a significant risk of not getting approved.

WAHS News and Notes

For those who enjoy news and notes from WAHS, the following represents the last edition from the 2023-2024 school year. We’ll pick it back up when the school bells ring once again in late August.

Tennis
The boys finished out a dominant spring season by capturing the state title over previously unbeaten Grafton. The Warriors won their 7th consecutive title without giving up a single match.

The girls fell to Maggie Walker Governor’s School in the team state final in a tightly contested string of matches. Team #1 Blythe Sturman (a freshman) finished her magical season as singles state champion.

Lacrosse 
The Lady Warriors closed out their perfect season (20-0) in furious fashion against Rockbridge to bring home the state title. A balanced team on offense and defense, this team will be hard to handle in the years to come, with many underclassmen having contributed significantly to their success in 2024.

Soccer
Both girls' and boys' varsity squads advanced to the state final and showed tremendous grit, effort, and courage in matches against Brentsville and Lafayette, respectively. The girls fell in OT, and the boys gave it their all in a narrow one-goal loss.

Crozet United’s Warrior of the Year is junior Raina Fitzwater, who captured individual state titles in two different sports (diving then pole vault).

WAHS Links: 

The Western Hemisphere WAHS has a newspaper, it’s amazing, you should read it!
