Generation Cluster homeowners who replace their roofs are now required to use one of the three shingles in the new standard. Examples of the shingles can be viewed at Home Depot. Also, they can be seen on the following three homes in the cluster that have recently installed new roofs.
If you have any questions about the new roof standard–and to avoid costly mistakes–please contact the cluster’s manager Shirley Klocek (sklocek@capitolcorp.com).
The final leaf pick up by Blade Runners will be on December 15th.
Please be aware that any leaves that are raked up may be put in bags and put out with the trash.
We ask all residents to be considerate and not fill parking spaces with raked leaves.

The process of collecting input for the improvements to Glade Drive continues. There will be a community meeting this week and neighbors are encouraged to make their voices heard:
Meeting Details
Some background:
Back in November, there was a meeting held to determine the restriping needs along Glade Dr., between Glade Bank and Twin Branches. There was a great attendance at that meeting by people who live along and use Glade. It was emphatically stated that we need access to on street parking by those all along the road. At the end of the meeting, Adam Lind of FFX county stated that they will not take parking away if the street is too narrow to support a bike lane, two traffic lanes, and parking. Glade seemed to be too narrow. (Note, Adam Lind is the Bicycle Program Manager for Fairfax County, and he is the person who ran this meeting, though he assured us that night it was a repainting meeting, not a bike lane meeting.)
About a month ago, there was a follow up meeting, but it was observed that Glade plans were seeming off the table. The three other streets who are being repaved were discussed, and a note on the meeting announcement stated: “Note: Glade Drive will not be discussed at this meeting. A separate meeting will be scheduled if any proposed changes are brought forward.”
A couple of weeks ago, Reston Now had an article Glade Drive repainting is not off the table afterall, though.
At this week’s meeting they will present several options for repainting, with the purpose, in their words, of “gathering input on various proposals to improve bicycling in the corridor.” The meeting will not be a presentation with a question/answer format. Rather, it will be an open house style, where you may write a comment and will choose from one of their best options being presented.

We encourage all of our neighbors who live along Glade Drive to come out and make your voices heard.
American Disposal—the cluster’s trash removal company—has offered to replace residents’ American Disposal cracked recycling bins on Tuesday, April 18th.

Please contact Damian Gullo if you have any questions.
We have received notice from American Disposal Services that they will be changing their policies for collecting yard waste.
Effective March 1, 2017, yard waste materials placed in plastic bags will be rejected at the local yard waste composting facilities.
They have been informed that plastic bags of any kind require additional processing and render the finished process less attractive. Therefore they are modifying their pick-up requirements.
American Disposal will accept yard waste material in compostable paper yard waste bags or personal containers clearly marked “yard debris material.” Here is a sample bag from Home Depot.
Remember this change goes into effect on March 1 so plan your spring yard work accordingly.
It’s that time of year… Time to put your new Generation Parking Passes in your cars. Here’s what you need to know:
Other parking reminders:
If you have any questions, please call Kathy Gately, Capitol Property Management. (703) 707-6404.
In the next few weeks we will be publishing the fully updated parking guidelines and documentation.
