What: The ViewPointe 55-plus community of 42 homeowners in East Asheville faces storm-damaged cliff erosion and rockfall above Azalea Road, a public road leading to the WNC Nature Center and the soccer complex.
Where it stands: A resident described bids of $3.5 million to $7.8 million for the project, with about half the cost tied to the road-side cliff, and asked the city for help. The city manager offered to join a discussion; no action was taken on September 22, 2026.
2026-09-22 - City Council — A former HOA chair said homeowners have spent over $200,000 on engineering and face assessments of roughly $50,000 to $100,000 each, citing crushed guardrails and falling rock. Council members asked for a follow-up meeting and suggested the Public Safety committee look at signage. DK Wesley noted the issue involves an owners association's common area abutting the public right of way and offered to participate in a discussion. The spelling of the road is as heard in the captions.
