The purpose of the Vista Neighborhood Association is to preserve, enhance, and protect the quality of life in our neighborhood, and positively impact the larger Vallejo community, of which we are a part. The VNA seeks to serve as a resource, to represent and advocate for our neighborhood, as well as to provide a forum for communication through which neighborhood residents can exchange ideas on community issues and resolve neighborhood problems and disputes. The Vista Neighborhood may be loosely described as that area bounded on the north by Redwood Street, on the east by Tuolumne Street, on the south by Nebraska Street, and on the West by Amador Street and North Camino Alto Streets.
The Vista Neighborhood Association was formed in response to a rash of vandalism and theft in the neighborhood. In February, approximately 200 angry Vista residents met with two police officers at the First Presbyterian Church in Vallejo, to demand better police response to the ongoing crime in the Vista. In particular, many large plate glass windows in homes in the neighborhood had been shot out with a "wrist rocket".Recently due to the cooperative efforts of Vista neighbors, Vallejo police caught someone who confessed to the crimes.
The VNA Board is in process of forming four committees, the School Relations Committee, which will work with the leadership of Vallejo High School and Vallejo Middle School on cooperative efforts, the Crime Committee, which will coordinate efforts to reduce and respond to crime in the Vista, the Traffic Committee, which will focus on issues relating to speeding cars, and the necessity of installing speed-bumps or stop signs, and the Events Committee, which will assist in VNA meetings and social functions.
