Agenda will be posted the weekend before Hello neighbors,
There are a couple of important neighborhood developments that we hope you will consider participating in. --- The first is the city's new design for the intersection of Grady Avenue and Preston Avenue, currently one of the most dangerous intersections in the city. The city is applying for Virginia Department of Transportation "Smart Scale" funding to undertake design and improvements at the intersection. The city offers the following related meeting information: Join us at our virtual public information meeting to learn more about the project, provide feedback, and help shape the vision for the corridor’s future! The City of Charlottesville strives to ensure that all members of the community have the opportunity to gain insight and provide comments on projects. It is important that the City verifies, through meetings like this, that the conceptual designs for this project reflect the priorities and desires of the community. City representatives will be present to discuss the project and answer any questions you may have! Register at: http://www.charlottesville.gov/webinar For More Information Contact: Kyle Kling, City of Charlottesville Transportation Project Manager Telephone: 434.970.3394 Email: klingk@charlottesville.org Meeting Information: Tuesday, June 30, 2020, 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m Virtual Meeting --- The VNA also encourages you to participate in the city's comprehensive plan update, housing study, and code re-write, known as Cville Plans Together. The city's consultants are in the first phase of community engagement for this effort. There will be future phases throughout the project, which is currently planned to extend through 2021. For this first phase the consultants are focused on hearing about goals, priorities, and needs related to the future of the city, especially related to equity and housing affordability. Due to COVID, they have had to transition from a comprehensive in-person engagement strategy to a mostly virtual environment. There are several parts of this effort:
Sincerely, VNA Board The Charlottesville Police Department and Animal Control is continuing to look for a wild fox seen behaving aggressively earlier this week in the area of First Street N, W. High Street and Harris Street. CPD has received additional reports of sightings of the fox, but no additional reports of any attacks.
Should anyone see a fox or any other animal acting suspiciously, they are asked to get to a safe location and contact CPD so the animal can be checked on. If this is an emergency situation or you have the animal in direct sight please use 911 to report the incident. If you are calling for informational purposes, please use the non-emergency number at the Emergency Communications Center (434-977-9041). Do not approach or attempt to capture the fox yourself. Some additional tips from the Thomas Jefferson Health District to reduce the risk of exposure to rabies:
SAVE THE DATE!
The city is hosting Town Hall meetings during the upcoming months. The Venable neighborhood will meet in conjunction with the JPA and Lewis Mountain neighborhoods on Thursday, May 14, 2015. The city will share details about the time and location of the meeting as we get closer to the date. Mark your calendars! West Main Street Action Plan Steering Committee at the Conference Room, Neighborhood Development Services - more information on Venable Neighborhood Facebook page
The City Council is looking for three citizens to serve on a Code Audit and Streets That Work advisory committee. Applications will be accepted by the City Clerk until November 21st. If you are interested in offering comments about the Streets That Work plan (what makes a street work well? what leads to a street not working so well? what do you think would improve your commute?), please consider attending a project meeting with staff at the Neighborhood Development Services conference room in City Hall on December 2, 2014 between 5-6:30 pm.
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Unitarian Universalist will host the Eyes Wide Open Exhibit sponsored by the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice on Sunday, November 9, 2014. The exhibit has been created by the American Friends Service Committee and is a powerful and silent display of the costs of war. Members of the church have volunteered to supervise the exhibit and to talk with those who come to see it, but there will be members of the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice present as well.
Starting July 1, 2014, residents on City-maintained streets can begin using the recently distributed wheeled recycling carts. The bi-weekly initiative kicks off this week with collection in Zone A neighborhoods, and Zone B neighborhoods the following week. Recycling days will continue to coincide with the current trash collection days.
Standing by the Green City vision, even if residents choose not to participate in the new recycling program, refuse collected by the City’s low-cost trash program will be sorted for recyclable items. However, the City is grateful for customers’ continued diligence in separating recyclables from trash. Since single-stream recycling requires that recyclables are not contaminated by food and garbage, separation prior to collection ensures a higher ratio of recycled materials to landfill waste. For more information, please visit the EPA resources linked on the website. City residents will now be able to recycle most types of plastics, #1-#7 as well as paper, glass, and aluminum products. Exceptions to acceptable items include plastic bags and small caps and lids. These items tend to create litter on the streets and interfere with the machines in the processing facility. Questions about recyclable items can be directed to County Waste at 434-296-6000. Residents are encouraged to try the 95-gallon cart for a few weeks before requesting a smaller size. Those who wish to opt out of the standard size may do so by phone or website. If residents have physical limitations, the red and green 18-gallon City bins may be used during the transition period, until adjustments are made. Thank you for recycling! Stay updated about recycling and other public works programs by following @CvillePW on Twitter. Contact information: Website: www.charlottesville.org/recycling Phone: 434-970-3830 Email: recycling@charlottesville.org Twitter: @CvillePW Charlottesville's Board of Architectural Review recommended that City Council should designate a portion of the Rugby Road corridor as a Historic Conservation District based on an application prepared by the Venable Neighborhood Association. The next event in this potential rezoning process will be a joint public hearing with the Planning Commission and City Council that will take place on Tuesday July 8, 2014 at City Hall. City Council will then hold two readings at separate meetings, probably in August
