40th Ave NE Bridge Closure Date Change

For those who drive across the 40th Ave bridge to Shore Acres and take Overlook into Snell Isle, your commute will be disrupted in the very near future. There is an article in the March Panther, but since that went to press, the city has delayed the bridge closure a few days. High winds will impact the ability to move the cranes safely this weekend as planned, therefore the bridge is now scheduled to close down both lanes on March 6 (5:00 AM) until 5:00 PM on March 11th.

Given that the whole bridge will be closed for that time, a significant amount of traffic will re-route through Snell Isle over the 34th or 22nd Ave entrances. Be aware and plan for a little extra time. If you wish to read about the bridge construction project, you can see more details here: http://www.40thavenuebridge.com/

Santa Visits Snell Isle!

Santa made a brief stop at Snell Isle last night. So many families came by in anticipation of getting a few minutes with the jolly man in red. And there were the photo opps. So many of them. We had grandparents snapping pictures on their phones, parents bringing reluctant children forward, many kids who bravely sat on Santa's lap and those who felt more comfortable approaching the jolly fellow from behind.

Many enjoyed cookies, egg nog and hot chocolate while they waited to see the seasonal star. We saw some decorated golf carts and many festive outfits.

Thanks to the SIPOA Board for coordinating this event, and for those of you who came out to participate. The Board wishes everyone a wonderful Holiday, wherever you are and whenever you are celebrating.
