Route 1 “boulevard” conversion
Tune in Wednesday for a discussion on the potential to lower Route 1 to grade, and the potential impacts to access, traffic, safety, and more.
Community-led Activities at the Park
You may have noticed a lot of cool things happening at Virginia Highlands Park this summer. Well, they are continuing through August – see the current events flyer.
These are all volunteer-led activities that can be done safely and socially distanced. If you have an activity that you would like to organize, and that can be done safely in the open field space in the west side of Virginia Highlands Park, please contact info@aurorahighlands.org.
Moving Livability 22202 Forward Zoom Meeting
AHCA, ARCA, And CCCA are hosting a joint meeting to provide a progress report and future outlook on the Livability 22202 work.
The Housing and Open Space working groups will be presenting findings and recommendations, and the Route 1 and Underground working groups that are still getting started will share initial goals.
These efforts are being taken very seriously by the County and other stakeholders, and could have a great influence on how our area develops. So it’s important to hear the consensus ideas we’ve come together on, provide your own input, and show your support.

He(art)s ❤️ at Virginia Highlands Park
Volunteers have created a temporary, impromptu art display that uses rainbow colors in heart symbols to honor the front-line workers and our community who continue to fight the pandemic. The hearts are placed at approximately 12ft apart allowing for people to sit and enjoy their own space while others can walk in between the hearts. Temporary, chalk-based paint was used to create the social distancing hearts painted on the ground.
