Jefferson Park Avenue Renamed Jefferson Drive Avenue
Patrick Henry - October 13, 2022 - cville

Early this morning, the Charlottesville Department of Transportation voted to rename Jefferson Park Avenue to Jefferson Drive Avenue. The decision came after many college students mistook the road for a parking lot.
“Thank god they cleared that up” said Jeremy, a second year living on JDA, “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally parked in the middle of the road. I mean park was literally in the name. Now I’ll know that JDA is for driving, not parking.”
Since the renaming of JDA, accidents on the road have dropped nearly 70% and a recent Census shows that residents are almost 2% happier.
