Extra sod from the project was used on select golf course collars. These areas had experienced higher concentrations of goosegrass following the summer rains. Because of the proximity to the green, herbicide applications in these areas are not safe. The infested areas were removed and replaced with new sod. These areas have been marked as ground under repair. While it is currently taller than the existing collars, over the next month the sod should establish and we will be able to cut it at the normal height.
A few people have raised questions regarding fishermen under the new bridge. Most of the concerns are over vehicles traveling where they may endanger golf carts or pedestrians. As you know, last winter we installed new bollards in the cart path with Casa V's approval. This has prevented automobiles from using the cartpath as a driveway. However, where there's a will there's a way. It seems that some people are accessing the bridge by pulling their cars into the grass at the corner of Sun Blvd and the Bayway. While there are bollards installed here as well, they are fitting their vehicles in between. After numerous requests, the DOT intalled additional signage to prohibit unauthorized vehicles but that has done little to help. Technically, none of this area is our property and our options are limited. We can't completely close this area off to vehicles. "Authorized" vehicles from the city, DOT, Duke Energy and landscapers do need to access this area. At this time we plan to install posts in between the existing bollards at the corner. These posts must be removable to allow access for the "authorized" vehicles but we hope they will deter those who shouldn't be there with vehicles.
