https://charlottesvilleschools.org/preschool/ We are beginning a complicated, expensive, but hopefully rewarding and successful effort to provide high quality Pre-K here in one place in sunny Charlottesville this Fall. Please wish us luck. #CharlottesvilleCitySchools #education #cville

Fresh out of a city schools capital planning committee meeting. One interesting question came up: to what extent should public schools consider and plan for students going to private schools? Should they be ignored? Should they be competed for? #education #cville

The packet for the May 12th #cville Planning Commission is posted here (hey wait that's today!) #cville https://charlottesvilleva.portal.civicclerk.com/event/2624/files/agenda/6375

I have two #Mastodon accounts, & I’m unsure how to differentiate them. This one at :albseal: #cville.online, & the other, created when the 1st was offline for some DNS issues, at #Privacysafe.social.
Use the latter for more geeky stuff? I dunno. I want them to be similar to each other, but different flavors. Just don’t know what flavors I should use!
For sure I want to use this account to encourage more geographic local engagement. When I look at the local timeline it’s just me, Matt, & @Lyle

I of course agree with my colleagues Danny Yoder and Ben Chambers that state funding should support multimodal regional safety priorities and not picayune highway onramp and off-ramp tweaks but agreed that the new Smart Scale prioritization fails to do this. Instead of embracing failure to snag tax dollars for bad projects we should work together to fix what is broken. #VDOT #SmartScale #cville #BikeTooter #walkable #BudgetsAreValuesDocuments https://open.substack.com/pub/communityengagement/p/april-21-2026-charlottesville-reps

https://communityengagement.substack.com/p/week-ahead-for-april-20-2026-charlottesville Budget drama! I’m happy to see the $1.1 million in pedestrian safety improvements. I have been singing that song for many years now. #cville #walkable #BudgetsAreValuesDocuments

Thanks to Sean Tubbs for covering the zoning fixes here in Charlottesville. Upset something was broken? Maybe it's fixed! #zoning #cville #housing https://infocville.com/2026/04/17/nds-working-on-communications-roll-out-for-changes-to-the-development-code/

Very excited about this. For many years we have struggled in Charlottesville with the custom oversized million dollar plus fire trucks with two year wait times available on the market. They do not fit historic streets and sometimes you cannot wait two years. #BikeTooter #FireSafety #cville #BudgetsAreValuesDocuments https://cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-charlottesville-looks-to-downsize-its-firetrucks/

Fascinating conversation with @rorystolzenberg.bsky.social tonight about his research into the Queen Charlotte Hotel, a beautiful Charlottesville landmark torn down too soon. I stumbled on this fun postcard of it that Dave Norris posted quite a while ago #cville #preservation #WestMain https://cvilledave.blogspot.com/2006/12/queen-charlotte-hotel-early-1920s.html

The great @jimduncan is doing another reddit real estate AMA on the Charlottesville area market. If you have a question for a pro, this is a great time. #cville #RealEstate #housing https://www.reddit.com/r/Charlottesville/comments/1sn3kk9/charlottesville_real_estate_ama_april_2026/

I see a lot of anxiety about nuclear war on the timeline. As a child of the Cold War I find this very familiar. I don't know if it helps you, but here is a fictional account of how that would go here in only slightly radioactive Charlottesville https://www.nps.gov/articles/charlottesville-1979.htm #cville #Charlottesville #NuclearWar #disaster
