written by Newspack Team | April 12, 2007



This morning in front of City Hall, Democrat

Satyendra Huja


announced his bid for a seat on

Charlottesville City Council

.  A thirty-three year resident of the City, Mr. Huja used his  announcement to focus on his priorities for City Council and not his

long resume

of service as a City employee.  Huja is best know for his work as long-time Director of Planning and Community Development and as an early advocate for the creation of Charlottesville’s pedestrian Downtown Mall in 1976. Since his retirement from the City three years ago, Huja has been a community planning consultant.


In his remarks

, Huja emphasized issues he would focus on if elected to Council including environmental protection, safe and strong neighborhoods, improved transportation choices, affordable housing, and support for early childhood education.
