It’s 2024 and there is much to do, including the annual Roads Repairs and Repaving Project led by our Public Works Team.
Each year, staff, in conjunction with the Public Works Committee and an engineering firm review all Association-owned roads and make recommendations for the annual repaving program. These recommendations are based on the condition of the roads, the amount of root intrusions and ride-altering bumps, whether separation of asphalt exists, along with a determination of whether roads are impacted by curb or drainage issues. With more than 91 miles of roads in the community, this task is never a small undertaking. However, it is vital to ensuring the roads in The Landings are in good order.
Join Construction Manager Bill Campbell and me as we discuss some deteriorating conditions the 2024 project will address, why it is important to spend the nearly $1.7M budgeted for the work, and the Main Gate entrance portion of the project set to begin in February.

The renovations to the Landings Harbor Marina Parking Lot Project are almost complete. If you haven’t seen the improvements, we encourage you to take a trip down to Landings Harbor Marina today to take a look. 
This project was part of the Priest Landing Paving Capital Project and included reconfiguring parking at the Marina to create a larger, circular driving area wide enough to accommodate boats and larger vehicles, as well as accommodate more golf cart parking. 
Join Construction Manager Bill Campbell and me as we discuss the benefits of this project and the new walking path constructed nearby.

Work is nearing completion on the repair and replacement of the Landings Harbor Pier deck and railings. The work strategy used the combined forces of in-house staff and subcontractors, keeping costs low, while centering on the Public Works Department’s mantra of “let’s touch it once and do such a great job, we don’t have to touch it again for a long, long time!”
This much-loved amenity is used by residents and their guests for walking, fishing, watching sunrises and sunsets, and accessing their vessels. Over time, the condition of the deck boards and railings had fallen below acceptable Landings Association standards. Additionally, the gaps in the deck boards created a safety hazard for users. However, you wouldn’t be able to guess these conditions ever existed by the new look of the Pier.
Join Construction Manager Bill Campbell and me as we discuss how the repairs are going and when we can expect the project to be completed.
