Connecting you to our urban, waterfront community.

Multimodal Norfolk

Over the next 18 months, we're developing a Multimodal Transportation Master Plan to help define the direction that the city’s transportation system will take over the coming years. This plan provides the framework for both large and small transportation decisions.

The purpose of Multimodal Norfolk is to better connect the ways we travel - by foot, bus, bike, scooter and car - to make our city safer and more prosperous in the future.

To make this happen, we need to hear from YOU! A series of public meetings will take place in February where you can share your thoughts on transportation in the Mermaid City.

Find the full list of dates and locations here .

Hidden in Plain Sight

Can you recognize the signs of substance abuse? Would you know what to look for in a teenager’s room?

Join us on Saturday, February 15 (9AM - noon) at St. Patrick Catholic School and we’ll show you - signs of substance use are often “Hidden in Plain Sight.”

Munson Park

Artist Ken McCall incorporated three time capsules into the base of our newest public art project, "Place In Time," installed at Munson Park on Saturday, January 25. The free-standing sculpture represents generations and the changing dynamics within the community. Munson Park is also home to a newly renovated playground with adaptive equipment so everyone can enjoy the outdoors.

You Count!

We're hosting a pep rally for the Census 2020 on Wednesday, January 29 (5 - 7PM) at Waterside District! Show them YOU COUNT! Join us for music, the NSU Spartan Legion, raffles and more! Raffle items include: family four pack to the Admirals, tickets to the North American Festival of Laughs, tickets to Martin Lawrence.

Improved Norfolk AIR Launches

Property information, photos, maps and values across the city available on the improved Norfolk Address Information Resource - Norfolk AIR .

This highly visual site is easy to use and understand - allowing residents to access data from multiple public records to see all kinds of information at a glance: zoning and flood data, recent sale and assessment values, schools and polling places. You can even view years’ worth of aerial photos to see how a property has changed over time.

New features allow users to seek information on individual addresses, or to compare properties within a geographic area or by other features within a street, across neighborhoods, or across the city.
