Safe Routes to School: Jackson-Via Harris Road Project

Two hundred of Jackson-Via's 333 students live within a mile of the school, but less than 35 of them walk to school regularly. If the street environment improved, more parents would send their kids to school on foot or by bike. In November 2014, Charlottesville was awarded a Safe Routes to School grant to eliminate barriers to walking and biking to school on Harris Road.  

Please visit http://www.charlottesville.org/departments-and-services/departments-h-z/neighborhood-development-services/transportation/bicycle-and-pedestrian/safe-routes-to-school, review the project flyer and the preliminary engineering schematic of proposed improvements to Harris Road, and give your feedback to Amanda Poncy, poncy@charlottesville.org, by November 25.  Thank you!

What's Better Than Ice Cream??

Ice cream with a cop!

Beginning Saturday July 25th and continuing throughout the remaining summer months, the Charlottesville Police Department will be hosting “Ice Cream with a Cop” at various city parks from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

We have partnered with a local ice cream truck, Mobile Delicious, to provide ice cream to the citizens that are at the park during the hours each event is scheduled.

Officers from our department will be at each park during these events to meet with the public, enjoy the park and have some ice cream with whoever wishes to join us. We are hopeful that during this time together the public, both adults and children, will engage in conversation with our officers and discuss whatever issues they feel are important.

Below is a tentative list of dates and parks.

July 25th Belmont Park
August 8th Forest Hills Park
August 15th Washington Park
August 29th Meade Park
September 12th Green Leaf Park
September 19th Tonsler Park

Ice cream is sponsored by the Charlottesville Police Foundation
