The AVNC Transportation Committee is involved in all things transportation for Atwater Village, from considering very localized parking issues to commenting on the development of the High Speed Rail and other large projects affecting our community.
Past projects include analyzing the effects of large developments on local traffic and congestion, working to make streets safer, and advocating on behalf of local residents for parking and mobility issues. You can get involved! Attend a committee meeting (sign up for alerts at bit.ly/AVNCagendas) or email Transportation@atwatervillage.org.
