If you’d like to be a part of putting together this year’s neighborhood shindig, please attend tomorrow night’s Suburban Acres Civic League meeting in Suburban Park Elementary at 6:30, or reply to this post. It’ll be a great chance to meet and team up with your neighbors, and none of the tasks will be overly demanding. Looking forward to hearing from you!

As you may have seen with our recent publication of the Mar-Apr 2017 Suburban newsletter, we’re working on updating our home site and providing more regular posts, complete with automatic cross-posting on our Facebook page. Stay tuned for more to come!

The Norfolk Planning Commission has advised the civic league that Mr. C. Christopher Nicholas has applied for a street closure of a portion of a cul-de-sac on Gunn Court, being located 30.00 feet south, more or less, of the 20’ Lane located west of Gunn Court; and north of 7000 Gunn Court.

This item will be discussed at the October civic league meeting. Click on the link to see the survey.

The item is tentatively scheduled for the October 27, 2016 Planning Commission public hearing.
