1. When does the MVA meet?

We meet the first Wednesday of each month , 6:15 p.m., at Pacific National Bank, 1998 Mountain Blvd. Anyone is welcome to attend our meetings to present concerns, questions or information of interest to the Board, or to just observe how the Association conducts business. Anyone wishing to address the Board at these meetings must contact the Association office by Thursday of the week preceding the meeting so we can plan the meeting structure. You can also call us at 510.530.0478.

2. Are all businesses part of the association?

Yes, If they are in the Village area, including Village Square (but not including businesses north of Colton).

3. How does the business recycling program work?

The MVA in conjunction with California Waste Solutions has a curbside recycling program for cardboard, glass, plastic, and aluminum that is available for all Village businesses. Recycling is placed curbside every Thursday evening after 6:00 PM in special, rented gray waste containers (same as those used by residents in the area), or recycling bags that can be purchased from California Waste Solutions. It is acceptable for cardboard to be stacked flat when placed with a recycling bag or gray container.

4. What are the rates and hours of the Village Parking Garage?

The Village Garage currently charges $2.00 per hour with a maximum of $10.00 per day. Many of the merchants offer validations, so up to two hours parking may be free. Hours of operation are:

• Monday - Friday 7:00 AM. to 8:30 PM
• Saturday - 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM
• Sunday - Free Parking 8:30 AM. to 6:00 PM..
• No cars are allowed to enter one half hour before closing.
• The garage is closed on all major holidays

With the fine for an expired meter or ticket now now costing $55 and the fine for exceeding the two hour restriction on street parking costing $70, it makes sense to use the Village Garage. No overtime parking ticket, convenient location, and a elevator to take you to the top floors.

5. How do I get to Montclair Village?

Montclair Village is located directly off Highway 13 (Warren Freeway). If you are heading south toward Hayward take the Thornhill/Moraga exit and keep to the left. If you are heading north toward Berkeley, take the Park Blvd. exit and proceed left at the stop sign. If you utilize public transportation, AC Transit serves the Village.

6. When are the Pacific Fine Arts Festivals held?

The Pacific Fine Arts Festival showcases many independent artisans twice a year in the Village each summer and fall. See our Calendar for the current year's dates.
