City Manager Sam Sanders has taken seriously the complaints of many Charlottesville residents about the lack of adequate sidewalks and he has made sidewalk construction a top priority. An adequate sidewalk network is essential as the city’s population density increases while the need to reduce our carbon footprint remains imperative. We all have to walk more, and now the city is working to take away our excuses.
Here is a link to the city’s list of sidewalk projects and the priority assigned to each. We certainly aren’t getting everything we wanted for our neighborhood but we don’t begrudge other neighborhoods getting better sidewalks and something is better than nothing. Check it out and decide for yourself.
Our next neighborhood picnic is scheduled for Sunday, June 2, from 4:30 to 6:30pm in the Meade Park Pavilion. 
Most of our neighborhood’s residents have arrived in just the past 10-15 years or so. The question that keeps so many of us awake at night is “What was our neighborhood like back in the day?” Please join long-time Little High Residents Leonard Taylor and Carolyn Belt to hear their stories from living memory about the history of our neighborhood on Sunday, May 19, at 4pm at
