What We’re Working On

  • Neighborhood Safety

    MAP has been actively working to improve roadway safety in our neighborhood. We’ve partnered with City Council to install speed bumps on Blacker and Chantilly. Additionally, we’re advocating for the installation of stop signs, sidewalks, and gutters on Cutshaw.

  • Beautification & Preservation

    Encouraging native planting, maintaining shared green spaces, and advocating for preservation-friendly development.

  • Community Engagement

    Supporting new resident welcome efforts, increasing participation in meetings, and enhancing communication across channels.

Take our survey to provide feedback to the board.

  • Eligibility/area: Need 10 continuous blocks to form/expand a zone.

  • Permits: We set the limit per household and the number of guest passes.

    Cost: $25/year per pass; billed separately (not via property taxes). 

  • Visitor parking passes are easily obtained, and if you’re hosting an event we can decide to not enforce parking for a period of time.

  • No. Boundaries can be adjusted annually.

  • Enforcement hours: We choose.

    Options could include weekdays only, weekends, evenings, or nights/weekends.

    We could tailor to peak pressure.

  • Funding opportunity tied to enforcement

    Citation structure: A $55 citation could include a $30 allocation to MAP (if city-approved).

    Use of funds: Neighborhood safety, crosswalks, and beautification.

RVA Code Info

Background information about the zoning updates can be found here.

Many city neighborhoods have a desire to take action regarding RVA’s Code Refresh:

  •  to improve the Code Refresh public engagement process, which requires slowing the process down and to increase opportunities for real dialogues between residents and PDR;

  • to broaden the stakeholders groups who are at the table to include the voices of all neighborhoods;

  • to improve the plan with effective tools and a more strategic and incremental plan.
