State DOT has announced their plan to replace the Smith Creek bridge on Rogers Road & Sanford Creek bridge on Forestville Road. The DOT plans to get contracts to design and build the bridges this summer. They will incorporate pedestrian access for the greenway system as per the town requirements.

Heritage Wake Forest Bridges

Replacing Heritage Wake Forest Bridges?

After designing, the projects will go to bid.  Construction will not begin prior to 2013.  Are they in need of repair?  You bet!  Both bridges are over 40 years old. From Carol Pelosi: “The Rogers Road (SR 2052) bridge is structurally deficient. Its project number is B-132. The Forestville Road (SR 2049) bridge is called functionally obsolete, meaning it may be sturdy but it cannot meet the demands of the kinds of traffic now on that road.”

Heritage Wake Forest continues to sell homes.  Because of this they continue to bring in more retail business as well.  In addition to the McDonalds that is coming to Forestville Rd., the corner of Rogers Rd. and Franklin Street will soon see a new Sheetz gas station!  OK, I have to admit that it was my wife, the lovely and talented Jennifer, that turned me on to her home state of Pennsylvania owned Sheetz gas stations initially.  Fact is she has always liked them because they are “well lit”.  She feels safer because of this.  But it does not end there Wake Forest…Sheetz offers more than your every day run of the mill gas station.  Their convenience store is just that….convenient!  Carrying a wide variety of goods.  Let’s be honest….you have each tried a sandwich on one of their pretzel (Pennsylvania right!) rolls too.

Coming to Heritage Wake Forest!

The Yum Yum Statue is still in downtown Wake Forest NC.

For those of you that have visited downtown Wake Forest over the past year and a half you may have noticed Yum Yum.  The statue of a little girl on loan from a promising artist.  After one year she was supposed to have been picked up by the artist, John Seward.  However, like many a famous artist once lived Mr. Seward is experiencing financial troubles and cannot afford to have it shipped back at this time.  Although we feel for Mr. Seward, we are thankful on behalf of the downtown district to have his art…even if it is for just a bit longer.  Glad to have you here, Yum Yum.
