What TRCA does


STAKEHOLDER REPRESENTATION

Traffic and transport concerns are a leading issue for TRCA residents. TRCA works with the City of Alexandria to try to improve local traffic conditions.

Neighbors are encouraged to use the Call.Click.Connect system to report any hit and run damage to cars. To report traffic problems, please call the police department's non-emergency line at (703) 746-4444. For more information, contact our Traffic liaison: trcatraffic@gmail.com  

TRCA also represents resident interests, if there is a majority viewpoint, for City concerns. Your attendance and reporting on city activities keeps TRCA as an effective and timely advocate.


PUBLIC SAFETY

We also work with the Alexandria Police Department, the Sheriff's Department, and the Fire Department to keep our neighborhood safe. Neighbors are encouraged to use the Call.Click.Connect system to relay non-emergency concerns to the City. Of course, if it's an emergency, call 911! Representatives of these departments regularly meet with TRCA with safety updates.

For more information, contact our Alexandria Sherrif Department liaison is SGT Brian Wade at brian.wade@alexandriava.gov or our Alexandria Police Department Liaison at patricio.alvarez@alexandriava.gov.


PARK CLEANUP

TRCA has adopted Chinquapin, Forrest, Angel, and Upland Park at the request of the City of Alexandria. From April to November, TRCA volunteers pick up trash at the four parks on a weekly basis. We are always looking for volunteers to help with this ongoing activity.

Every year, TRCA gives out several scholarships to local students using the money earned from the Adopt-A-Park program.

Please log any time spent on such maintenance with our TRCA park cleanup google sheet. Tracking time spent on cleanup helps TRCA receive a city grant.

Email us at membership.trca@gmail.com if you want to help or need further instruction.


SOCIAL EVENTS

Every year, TRCA hosts a number of special events, including our annual Fall Block Party. We often host a National Night Out celebration with local law enforcement, an Earth Day park cleanup, and popsicle nights for the kids. Click on the Upcoming Events tab for more information.
