The Virginia-Highland Civic Association (VHCA) represents the neighborhood of Virginia-Highland, a community in Northeast Atlanta, GA

The VHCA Historical Preservation Committee is exci The VHCA Historical Preservation Committee is excited to announce a new addition to our neighborhood: Virginia-Highland History Meetings. This series of free, open-to-all gatherings kick off this Thursday with a presentation from Catherine Lewis, PhD, “Jewish Migration in 20th Century Atlanta.” 

When: Thursday, May 7 from 6:30 - 8:30pm 
Where: @atkinspark Restaurant, Upstairs Room — 794 N. Highland Ave NE, Atlanta
Cost: Free and open to all neighbors

We are deeply grateful to the team at Atkins Park Restaurant for hosting us in their beautiful upstairs space. Given the restaurant’s own century-long history in this neighborhood, it feels like the perfect home for these conversations.

We hope to see you on May 7th for our very first gathering. Please feel free to share this invitation with any neighbors who might enjoy it — all are welcome.
Great work day at North Highland Park! We had abou Great work day at North Highland Park! We had about 20 neighbors on hand to plant, weed, and mow. Consider joining us at the next clean up: Saturday, June 13.
Hope to see you in the park tomorrow! 🌳🍃 Hope to see you in the park tomorrow! 🌳🍃
Monroe Drive is one of the most important streets Monroe Drive is one of the most important streets in our neighborhood — and one of the most dangerous. It is ranked 12th on the City’s High Injury Network, and many of us have experienced close calls while walking, biking, or driving along this corridor.

The Monroe Complete Street project represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the future of this residential neighborhood street. The upcoming community meeting may be the last chance for public feedback before the design is finalized and implementation begins.

In our continued advocacy efforts, Virginia-Highland Civic Association Transportation & Safety Committee has developed a position paper supporting additional safety measures, including:
• Slower speeds
• Additional crosswalks
• Safer intersections
• Stronger pedestrian protections
• Added trees and buffering to calm traffic

These recommendations are grounded in neighbor input and focused on improving safety for residents, students, and everyone who uses Monroe.

Now is the time to make your voice heard:
• Review the VHCA position paper 
• Plan to attend the upcoming community meeting
• Share your feedback with ATL DOT and your City Council representatives
• Talk with neighbors and encourage them to participate

Many of us have our own stories about Monroe — near misses, unsafe crossings, and difficult conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. This is the moment to turn those experiences into meaningful improvements.

Please share this post to help spread the word. The strength of community participation will shape the final outcome.
