All-Day Bridge Closure 2/6

8:30 AM to 4:00 PM on Monday, 2/6/12

The contractor will be pouring concrete into pile caps 14, 15, and 16. This is the last of five pourings. (1/31/12)

Bridge Open 1/25, Closed 1/27

The bridge will be OPEN on Wednesday, 1/25/12. Previously it was scheduled to closed for a concrete pouring.

The bridge will be CLOSED on Friday, 1/27/12 from 8:30 AM to 2:30+ PM. Concrete will be poured in pile caps 11, 12, and 13. (1/23/12)

8:30 AM to 2:30 PM on Wednesday, 1/25/12

Concrete will be poured in pile caps 11, 12, and 13.

Please note that the time needed for the concrete pouring is not exact; the contractor cannot predict delays that may increase the length of time that the bridge has to remain closed. Your patience will be appreciated!

This closure schedule is dependent on the weather conditions. (1/20/12)

Bridge Open 1/19/12

The bridge closure scheduled for Thursday, 1/19 has been canceled. (1/18/12)

6.5-Hour Bridge Closure 1/19/12

8:30 AM to 12:00 PM & 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM on Thursday, 1/19/12

The concrete pour at piers 5, 6, and 7 went well on 12/22, although it did take longer than expected at just over 7 hours. There were some delays on the part of the concrete supplier, who has promised the contractor that it won’t happen again. Thank you all for your patience! (12/27/11)

Building the New Bridge

Building the New Bridge is a new web page with details and photos about important steps in the construction process. (12/20/11)

4- to 6-Hour Bridge Closure 12/22 and Caution

8:30 AM to 12:30+ PM on Thursday, 12/22

On Thursday, December 22nd, the bridge will be closed from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM+. Concrete trucks will begin arriving at 8:45 AM to place 66 cubic yards of concrete in pile caps (and piles) 5, 6, and 7. The contractor is estimating concrete delivery at 15 cubic yards per hour. This is an estimate, so please don't count on the bridge being open at exactly 12:30. The closure has been posted as 4 to 6 hours.

Members viewing the webcam may have noticed the lack of a red flag on the railing to signify that the closure schedule is in effect. The flag was stolen! The contractor is now using orange delineators/cones in its place. (12/18/11)

CAUTION

The detour lane was completed Friday, December 16th, and vehicles are now driving on steel plates at the west end of the bridge. The steel plates are very slippery during freezing weather conditions. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

4-Hour Bridge Closure 12/16

8:30 AM to 12:30 PM on Friday, 12/16

The work crew will be finishing the detour lane at the west end of the bridge on Friday, Dec. 16th. The bridge will be CLOSED from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. It will be open for the remainder of the day. (12/13/11)

Concrete Pouring Starts Soon

During the coming weeks there will be a lot of activity on the bridge and members should expect the bridge to be closed during the scheduled hours posted. The crew will be working on weekdays through the holiday season, with the exception of Dec. 26th and Jan. 2nd.

They will be working at the west end finishing the detour lane Dec. 12th to 16th, after which the detour restrictions will be in effect.

The piles have all been driven and cut to the designed height; platforms are now being constructed in preparation for filling the piles with concrete and pouring the concrete pile caps. The contractor plans on completing this concrete work over a five-week period, with pouring scheduled for one day each week. Three of the 15 bents will be completed per pour, requiring 30 66 yards of concrete.

On each of the five days (one per week) that the concrete is being poured, the bridge will be closed at 8:30 AM for four to six hours. The concrete work will begin during the work week beginning December 19th. As soon as the exact date is confirmed, the modified closure schedule will be posted. (12/11/11)

Bridge Open Thanksgiving Week

There will be no daily weekday closures during Thanksgiving week (11/21 to 11/25). American Construction will be working on Monday through Wednesday. However, they will not need the previously scheduled daily closures, although a few short delays may be required. The bridge is open all day on weekends. (11/18/11)

Emergency Response Plan During Closures

The Club has contracted with a private ambulance service, Mason County Medic One, to provide emergency medical response services during the upcoming bridge closures. An ambulance staffed with two EMT's will be stationed on the island November 15th and 17th. They will be responding immediately if a 911 call is received from Treasure Island. Meanwhile, paramedics will be on their way; they will have foot access to and from the island. Vehicles on standby will pick them up on the bridge to get them where they need to go to assist Medic One. The Medic One ambulance will transport patients to the west end of the bridge, where they will be wheeled across a walkway to a waiting ambulance for transport (this walkway will be provided for emergency services only).

Firefighting equipment will also be stationed on the island during the closures. (11/13/11)

Bridge Signal Light Timing Changed

The timing of the bridge signal light has been extended to accommodate the 10 mph construction zone speed limit and other delays that are occurring on the bridge. This extension will allow more time for vehicles to cross. The wait will be longer when sitting at a red light, but this should eliminate head-on traffic on the bridge. (11/13/11)

12-Hour Bridge Closures 11/15 and 11/17

7:30 AM to 7:30 PM
Tuesday, 11/15 and Thursday, 11/17

The west end of the bridge will be disassembled during these two closures. The bridge deck will be lifted, piles driven, and the deck will be reassembled on November 15th. The deck will be lifted again on November 17th. When the work is finished at the end of the day, vehicles will be using the detour lane. The contractor will make every effort to be completed by the time stated. If they run late, please be patient!

Vehicle size restrictions will be in effect after November 17th.

With the exception of provisions made for emergency services, there will be NO ACCESS for vehicles or pedestrians during these two closures.

There will be no mail delivery on these two days. Garbage and recyclables will be picked up on Thursday before the bridge closes at 7:30 AM.

Please remember not to block driveways on the mainland while waiting for the bridge to open.

For all other weekdays the current closure schedule remains in effect until otherwise notified. (11/6/11)

Orange Flag Means Bridge Is Closed

There is now an orange flag on the railing visible from the webcam when the bridge is CLOSED. There is also a change to the closure schedule.

This week the project team decided that rather than changing the closure schedule from week to week, consistency would be better for everybody to plan around. We're going to be on the current schedule from now until the pile driving is completed. After that the schedule may be modified to allow the bridge to be open more often. If the bridge is open during a scheduled closure period, the orange flag will be down. (10/27/11)

Daily Bridge Closures 10/26 to 11/4

New temporary closure schedule
Closed weekdays
8:30 AM to 10:30 AM
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

The effective dates are Wednesday, October 26th through Friday, November 4th. These are scheduled closures. There will be equipment on the bridge during these times. The bridge is open all day on weekends.

The detour lane will be completed by November 4th. On Monday, November 6th, the temporary traffic delays schedule will resume. (10/21/11)

Reminder: Don't Block Driveways

During traffic delays please be careful not to block driveways on the mainland side of the bridge while you are waiting for the bridge to open. (10/17/11)

Power Outage and Bridge Closure 10/19/11

The bridge will be closed on Wednesday, October 19th from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM due to work being done by PUD #3. There will also be a power outage on Treasure Island. (10/8/11)

Bridge Alert: Traffic Delays Starting 10/3/11

To allow work on the bridge to proceed safely and efficiently, there will be three time periods each weekday (Monday through Friday) starting Monday, 10/3/11, when American Construction will be allowed to close the bridge as necessary. Closure times will range from a few minutes to an hour:

bullet8:30--9:30 AM
bullet10:30--11:30 AM
bullet1:30--2:30 PM

The bridge will be OPEN at all other times. This plan will be in place until the bridge detour is completed in November. The contractor will make every effort to minimize the length of the closures and, if possible, will periodically stop work to allow vehicles to cross the bridge during the traffic delay periods. It is not expected that there will be closures during every traffic delay period, and on some days there won’t be any. If you see traffic cones blocking the bridge approach, please assume the bridge is temporarily closed and do not drive out onto the bridge until you get an OK from the contractor that it is safe to cross. Thank you for your patience. This alert concerns ad hoc temporary delays. Planned full closure notices will be posted 7 days in advance. (10/2/11)

Bridge Webcam Ready for Viewing

A webcam has been installed near the bridge to allow daylight viewing of the bridge replacement project. The camera looks west toward the mainland. The image is refreshed every three seconds. There is a permanent link to the webcam on the home page (just below the horizontal line). You can also access the camera from the following link:

bullet Bridge webcam

The first time you connect to the camera you may be asked to install an Active X control. The control is safe to install.

The webcam is a network camera made by Panasonic. Fair Harbor Marina uses the same model. The camera uploads images to the Internet using a broadband connection installed by WaveCable at Pump House #1. The Board thanks Daryl Axelson for researching, installing, and testing the camera. The camera will be in operation until bridge construction is complete. (10/2/11)

Bridge Closure Thursday 9/29/11

Closure times:

bullet8:30--9:30 AM
bullet10:30--11:30 AM
bullet1:30--2:30 PM

The bridge will be OPEN between closures. Normally closure notices are provided 7 days in advance. This one is an exception. (9/26/11)

Bridge Construction Delayed

The start of construction has been delayed about a month while awaiting delivery of pilings. Detour restrictions will not be in effect until October 15th. (9/21/11)

Bridge Detour Temporary Vehicle Size Restrictions

IN EFFECT 9/19/11 TO 2/1/12
MAX WIDTH: 8.4 FEET
 MAX LENGTH: 32.0 FEET WITH OR WITHOUT TRAILER
OTHER SIZES BY TICC PERMIT ONLY

Our engineers have designed the clearances on the temporary detour to accommodate life safety vehicles, including fire trucks. TICC cannot be responsible for vehicular clearance beyond life safety requirements.

If you are concerned about the clearances and turning radius of your specific vehicle beyond the design criteria stated above, TICC suggests that you take your vehicle off the island before September 19th, when construction will start. (8/22/11)

Notice of Spraying

The Club's maintenance employee will be spraying Round-up on common areas WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 24 - beginning at 10 AM. Most of the spraying will be done in ditches and around culvert ends on the east side of the island. (8/17/11)

Public Hearing on Bridge Replacement Project

A PUBLIC HEARING regarding the bridge replacement project is scheduled for Saturday, July 24th, 7 PM, at the Grapeview Firehall. The Club has initiated an application with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for a loan to finance the bridge replacement project. The USDA requires the applicant to inform the general public of the proposed project. Bridge Commissioner, Roger Hansen, will provide an overview of the physical aspects of the project as presented at the June Informational Member Meeting and the July Annual Member Meeting. This meeting will give the citizenry an opportunity to become acquainted with the proposed project and to comment and ask questions. (7/20/10)

Board Elections

At the 2010 annual membership meeting, Gary Longmire, Rich Harder, and Larry Grumme were elected to full terms. In July, before the meeting, Water Commissioner Daryl Axelson resigned from the Board. That position is currently vacant. The Board thanks Daryl for his service!

See Board Minutes for the 2010-2011 Board members and assignments. (7/14/10)

Bridge Closure Extended to March 6th

The contractor ran into some problems on March 4th and will need more time to complete their work. The bridge will need to be closed again on Saturday, March 6 from 8:30 AM to about 12:30 PM. The Board appreciates everyone's patience. (3/5/10)

Bridge Closure March 4th and 5th

The bridge will be closed from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM on Thursday, March 4 and Friday, March 5. The closure is to allow equipment to be stationed on the bridge to do borings for analysis of the subsurface under the bridge. (2/26/10)

Bridge Repairs Complete

At the Special Membership Meeting held November 14, bridge commissioner Roger Hansen announced that this fall's bridge repairs are complete. Pictures of the barge and crane that were a fixture in the Grapeview Channel for the last two months can be seen on the Bridge Repair photo page. The repairs were made by Quigg Brothers Construction of Aberdeen, WA. Roger stressed that the repairs are temporary and can only be expected to extend the life of the structural elements that were repaired by 5 to 10 years. The repair technique used was to "sister in" new caps and pilings; that is, to insert them alongside the defective units but not to actually remove the old ones. The bridge will continue to have annual inspections. New load limits will be posted as soon as they are available. For more on the repairs, see the September newsletter. (11/16/09)

Treasure Island Blog Up and Running

The Treasure Island blog is hosted by Wordpress:

bullet www.treasureislandcountryclub.wordpress.com

The blog is a place to discuss matters related to our beautiful island. The blog has been set up so that anyone can comment on its posts. However, to post new content you need to be a blog author. See the blog's About page for details on becoming an author.

Water Tank To Be Put Back in Service

Following a soak period and a review of water sampling tests, the state's Office of Drinking Water has given Treasure Island the green light to put the water tank back online. Some residents may experience a drop in water pressure as we return to using the normal distribution system. The "Please Conserve Water" banner will be taken down. However, the water distribution team asks you to continue to use island water wisely and effectively. (11/15/09)

Treasure Island Blog

Dan Poole and the webmaster are setting up a blog where members can share island news with each other. For now, we want to see what interest there is in supporting a blog. If you want to be part of a team to make this work, send an e-mail to the webmaster. Please include your e-mail address and telephone number so we can get right back to you. (11/7/09)

New Board Member

Larry Grumme was appointed to the Board of Trustees at a Special Board Meeting held on October 24, 2009. He replaces Rocky Brown, who resigned in October. The Board thanks Rocky for her outstanding service. Mr. Grumme will serve as Dock Commissioner. (11/3/09)

Water Tank Testing Postponed

Testing of the water in the newly recoated water tank has been postponed from 11/2/09 to 11/9/09. This week the tank will be drained and refilled for a second soaking period.

Water Tank Update

The tank has been painted and Long Painting has de-mobilized.

On October 16th Nicholson Drilling replaced the float switches in the tank.

The next steps are to allow the paint to cure for 7 days, which started on October 15th. On October 22nd, we will start our process of putting the tank back online. This will involve:

  1. Back-flushing the lines going into and out of the tank (Oct. 22nd).
  2. Cleaning any residual debris out of the tank (Oct. 22nd - Oct. 23rd).
  3. Filling the tank to the float switch stops (Oct. 23rd - Oct 24th).
  4. Letting the tank soak for up to 7 days (Oct 24th - Oct 30th).
  5. Taking water samples (Oct. 30th).
  6. If the samples come back good, the tank will be put back into service. (10/20/09)

No Bridge Closures Scheduled

No bridge closures are scheduled for the remainder of the bridge repairs currently being done by Quigg Brothers construction. (10/8/09)

Water Tank Painting Starts September 28

The water tank will be painted during the period September 28 to October 17. See the September Newsletter for more details. Please conserve water as much as possible during this period to mimimize the amount of extra time the well pumps need to run to keep up with demand. (9/25/09)

Garbage

We don’t have a problem with neighbors throwing garbage or yard waste onto their neighbor’s property, but throwing it in the water yields the same result! Several members have complained about the amounts of food-generated garbage and yard waste washing up on their beaches.

According to Mason County Motorboat Ordinance No 83-88, it is unlawful to dump or throw any oil, garbage, ashes, brush, roots, lawn trimmings, etc. (there’s a long list) in or upon navigable water or on the shores so that by any means the item or substance may be washed into the water. This is called dumping debris and a person can be cited and fined for this offense.

Please be considerate of your neighbors, the environment, and the boaters, water skiers, etc. when disposing of your trash.

Speaking of trash....litter on the float at the dock facility is beginning to be a problem. Please take your trash with you when you leave the facility.

Animal Control

For many years, roaming dogs were a constant problem here on the island. There are always exceptions, but in general, we seem to have solved that problem. On behalf of all the neighbors who had to deal with the loose dogs, we thank everyone who confines their pet to their own property and walks them on a leash. And we thank everyone who makes sure their guests do the same!

Another dog-related issue that is not solved is the considerable amount of excrement on the roadsides. Not only does this create an unhealthy condition for both people and their pets, it has also been noted as a possible factor in the increasing number of rat sightings. Mowing and weedeating our roadsides should not be such a disgusting job! PLEASE pay closer attention to cleaning up after your pets and be sure your guests do the same.

Non-residents are often seen walking around the island with their dogs. Most of them honor our leash law, but do they clean up after their pets? It is only with everybody’s help that we can solve this problem. If you see someone walking their pet and leaving us a gift, say something to them!

Parking

Parking on the road shoulders is not permitted! During the summer months this isn’t always possible. To allow enough room for emergency vehicles to get through, instruct guests to park on one side of the roadway only. Members are encouraged to use the upper dock area to park their empty boat trailers while their boat is in use.
