Neighborhood surveys
Two quick surveys on the Mathieson cul-de-sac and permit parking. Take them here.
Spring
Easter egg hunt
Back again next year for the youngest neighbors.
Want to host a neighborhood event?
Block parties, happy hours, a holiday get-together: if you have an idea, we’ll help you get the word out. Reach out to the association.
Join your neighbors
Dues are voluntary, and they’re what keep the association running: events, beautification, communications, and the work of protecting our historic streets.
35 households have joined for 2026, toward our 2026 goal of 40.
Paying online adds a handling fee ($2 for 2026, $4 for 2027). Checks have no fee, and Zelle adds $0.50. Prefer to pay by check? Here’s how. Dues are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
What we’re working on
Projects come from what neighbors raise at meetings and in surveys. Have an idea? Tell us at the next association meeting or by email.
Mathieson cul-de-sac
Everyone agrees it needs work. We’re asking neighbors what they’d like to see, including a City trash receptacle to cut down on litter.
Alberta cul-de-sac park
Exploring a small park or play area at the end of Alberta, starting with who owns the land and which City department to work with.
Researching
Permitted parking
Finding out how much support there is and which streets are most affected before anything moves forward.
Church exit safety
Working with Peachtree Presbyterian on left turns out of their exit and the open fence at the back of the Alberta cul-de-sac.
In talks
