Now that UVA is building a 50-bed long term acute care hospital, or LTACH, on Ivy Road alongside Volvo of Charlottesville, it's doing something about runoff in the area, a commercial district in a rural part of Albemarle. Much as it did with the John Paul Jones Arena, UVA will eventually fill this stormwater and bio-retention pond, photographed May 19, with native plants.
