About the association

Who we are

The Miramonte Neighborhood Association is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit, registered with the City of Tucson since 1992, that gives everyone in Miramonte a voice in the neighborhood's future.

Our purpose

Under our bylaws, MNA exists to maintain the quality of life of the neighborhood, build a sense of community, and provide a forum for neighborhood concerns, including land use. The Miramonte Neighborhood Plan, adopted by Mayor and Council in 2008, guides our positions.

In practice, that means we:

  • Hold open board meetings most months, where residents can raise concerns directly with Ward 6 and Pima County staff
  • Advocate for the neighborhood on development, traffic, parking, and City projects
  • Work with Tucson Police and neighbors on safety through the Alvernon-Fifth Crime Coalition
  • Care for shared spaces like the Pocket Park and the traffic chicanes
  • Bring neighbors together through Halloween in the Park, spring and fall cleanups, and socials like the Midtown Ice Cream Social
  • Keep neighbors informed through a newsletter mailed to every household twice a year, MNA-Email, and this website
