About Mockingbird Valley Preservation Alliance, Inc.
The MVPA was incorporated in 2004 as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization with a charter to protect and enhance our neighborhood. Currently we have 18 members on our volunteer Board of Directors, with staggered three-year term limits. The Mockingbird Valley Historic District became listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. By obtaining this status, our neighborhood is granted limited protection against adverse action by federal agencies, certain tax benefits, and standing with Metro Council regarding zoning changes. The Mockingbird Valley neighborhood plan was adopted by Metro Government on June 8, 2006. A neighborhood plan is not a legally binding document, but a vehicle for current and future planning and discussion. It serves as a resource and reference point with our Metro Government if undesirable development threatens our community.
Please Pay Attention!
PLEASE watch for bicyclists when driving on Mockingbird Valley Road. We all enjoy the beauty of our neighborhood whether it be on four wheels or two. PLEASE ride in a single file line when bicycling on Mockingbird Valley Road! While the gentle curves and hills of Mockingbird Valley Road are a nice respite from River Road or Brownsboro Road, they also make it difficult for motorists to see cyclists. We are happy to share the neighborhood, but want to make it safe for all! PLEASE help with Clean Up day! By working together we can keep our neighborhood clean and litter free. If we all pitch in, the time spent on Saturday morning is minimal, and it is a fantastic way to get your entire family involved with the community!
