Irrigation; Auxiliary Parking Lot Work To Begin May 3rd

May 3, 2021

Irrigation; Auxiliary Parking Lot Work To Begin May 3rd

Well Team (all of you are on our team by the way), appears the statement we have made has been heard again, again, again,..etc. Our beloved Lincoln Charter Township has seen the ravenous appetite you all have for soccer, so much so, that they have accelerated development efforts toward an improved driveway for our location.

Refer back to my publication dated March 11th, ‘Irrigation; Auxiliary Parking Lot Approved by LCT Leaders’ by clicking HERE. Well, with all the cars dotting our lawn, they want to provide a more structured driveway for us to enjoy. Sooner, rather than later. LCT is AS excited as we are of the interest in our program and would like to see it continue.

Therefore, the contract for work was signed April 30th, between the Contractor and LCT to begin work on our new driveway. The Contractor is set to begin this today, May 3rd. With this being the case, the driveway off of Cleveland Avenue will be blocked off beginning today, Monday, through the completion of the project.

As a measure of precaution, please respect the placement of the construction barrels and avoid moving or driving through them or around them or over them. We kindly ask of you to use the Rocky Weed parking in the interim to allow the Contractor to complete the work approved, safely, and speedily.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please pay close attention to your kiddos to ensure they steer clear of the new construction zone. And while the construction equipment may look like an enticing play gym, they are most certainly NOT! We would like to avoid any Curious George’s out there. Please help us, avoid this.

This project will move along as quickly as weather permits. Please be patient as they proceed to the tune of $133,070 worth of work on our behalf. This has been decades in the making, and TODAY they break ground! Your voice has been heard very…LOUD. And very CLEAR. Y’all want soccer and y’all want it now.  

Again, special thanks to the best township in America for making this happen for us, as quickly as they have:

Dick Stauffer, Terrie Smith, Stacy Loar-Porter, Marc Florian, Deb Peterson, Rick Stone, Kevin Gillette, Dave Austin, Gil Urban (SWM SC), Jay Meeth (SWM SC), Jarrett Burgess (SWM Rec) and Yours Truly.

I can personally attest, that their management of our facility and our community’s resources are in the finest government hands in the state of Michigan. An exceptional example of governance at its finest.

Should you have any questions, or concerns, please feel free to contact me at president@lakeshoreyouthsoccer.com or Ms. Terrie Smith (or Ms. T, as I call her), Township Treasurer, at tsmith@lctberrien.org, or 269.429.1589 extension 112.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but this project has been moved to the fast lane.

Have an amazing season!

GO SOCCER AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR BEING A PART!!!

Love y’all ; ).

Jefferson
