Who does the CNA Serve and Who may Belong?

Everyone who lives in the area bounded by El Camino Real on the east, Ralston on the south, the Belmont City limits on the north, and Alameda de las Pulgas on the west. 

The Central Neighborhood is comprised of roughly 2,200 residences with 6,000 residents.

 

What does the CNA Do?

• Informs residents about important issues affecting the neighborhood.

• Serves as a "grass roots" organizing vehicle for select neighborhood issues.

• Solicits neighborhood opinion on city issues and represents that neighborhood to input to the city where appropriate.

• Monitors city agencies on the neighborhood’s behalf and reports to residents.

• Sponsors speakers and Q and A sessions for meetings of the Association.

• Organizes and sponsors social events for the neighborhood.

• Undertakes other activities as determined by the members.

 

Why Should I Join?

Joining the CNA ensures that our neighborhood has a strong voice in matters that affect us all. From reporting from city government meetings to reducing traffic speed and trash on our streets, CNA is a low cost way to preserve the values we all chose when we moved to Belmont.
