  • NORTH SHOAL CREEK GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MTG. TUESDAY, NOV. 5, 6:30-8 PM in the Pillow Elementary School Library (enter through the school’s front entrance; the Library is the first door to your left).
    Agenda will include update on land development code revision.


  • The “School News” article on page 9 of our Fall/Sept. 2019 newsletter said that “One option being considered to solve the problem of morning and afternoon traffic jams on Crosscreek is to make Crosscreek one-way going east.” Pillow Elementary School principal Yvette Cardenas reports that is NOT an option Pillow is considering. The article also asked that feedback on the possibility be sent to safety@nscna.org. The feedback we received was uniformly negative. To those who sent feedback, thank you. And if you’ve been worried about the possibility of Crosscreek becoming one-way, you can stop worrying about that now.
