Chattanooga Housing Authority has plans to close College Hill Courts. IF YOU GO

* What: CHA Public Hearing for 2015 Annual Agency Plan and monthly board meeting

* When: 12:30 Tuesday

* Where: 801 N. Holtzclaw Ave.

Chattanooga Housing Authority may apply for the demolition or sale of College Hill Courts in 2015 and the demolition or sale of East Lake Courts in 2017, according to its 2015 Annual Agency Plan.

CHA officials say nothing is set in stone, but it is possible for the application process for College Hill Courts, its oldest and largest public housing site, to begin in the next year.

If an application is submitted, it takes a year just to get approval, said Naveed Minhas, CHAs vice president of development.

The deferred maintenance and dollars necessary to sustain these projects is extremely high, said Minhas, CHAs vice president of development. So we know that sooner than later, we will ultimately have to apply for a disposition or demolition. The properties are not sustainable in the long-term.

CHA estimates it will take $100 million, with $50 million spent at each site, to bring College Hill and East Lake Courts up to standards. The sites were constructed in the 1940s and include more than 900 households.

Units at both sites have outdated sewer systems, outdated electrical systems and issues with mold and leaking roofs, said Minhas.

OAKLAND, Calif.

The demolition of the 78-year-old original eastern span of the Bay Bridge is proceeding on schedule in a methodical, piece-by-piece manner, a Caltrans spokeswoman said Thursday.

During a media tour of the old eastern span, which went out of service when the new eastern span opened up a year ago, Caltrans spokeswoman Leah Robinson-Leach said the dismantling of the old section is taking place in the reverse order from which it was built.

The first phase was to cut the suspended span of the cantilever truss at its center in order to begin removing it, Robinson-Leach said.

There is now an 800-foot gap in the middle of the cantilever span, which is visible to drivers on the new eastern span.

Robinson-Leach said demolition has also begun on the temporary detour near Yerba Buena Island known as the S-curve.

The second phase will involve removing the five truss spans and the truss causeway and the third and final phase calls for removing the underwater foundations for the old span, she said.

The demolition work began last year and isn't scheduled to be completed until 2018, Robinson-Leach said.

One of the challenges for workers is keeping the old span stable while it is demolished. One way to accomplish that is by installing temporary support trusses, she said.

Another complication is that many of the large number of cormorants who have nested under the old eastern span for many years have refused to leave their spots and move over to the new span, according to Robinson-Leach.

Laguna to the east and Pont Loma, downtown San Diego and the Coronado Bridge to the west are stunning, they are far from the only highlight of this home. Handcrafted by premiere luxury builders Emilio and Sons, every detail was custom-designed, from the French limestone flooring (indoors and out), to the Italian textured stucco finish on all interior and exterior walls, all the way up to the sandblasted Douglas fir ceiling beams. The owners who built the home excavated boulders from the site and placed them around the vanishing-edge pool, patio and driveway. Two water storage tanks connect to a well to water the landscaping which is primarily drought-tolerant plants fitting with the natural beauty of the site. A magnificent three-bedroom estate sits on the edge of Cleveland National Forest, with panoramic views of Mt. Laguna, Point Loma, Downtown San Diego and the Coronado Bridge. Take in breathtaking sunrises from the vanishing edge pool or Jacuzzi! Its perfect for entertaining with gas barbecue and fire pit, along with parking for guests.
