RDA often serves as a mediator, facilitator, and/or problem-solver for residents experiencing conflict. This RDA program, officially called the Rosedale Conflict Resolution Center (RCRC), is designed to empower residents to resolve their own neighborhood problems through the process of mediation.

Mediation services are provided at little or no cost to participants, and are intended to foster an environment of respect, open communication, and nonviolent conflict resolution. Most conflicts that the RCRC deals with are civil (i.e. non-criminal) matters, such as property line, fencing, parking, noise, and animal disputes.

The RCRC also provides workshop trainings on conflict resolution for neighborhood groups, police officers, city staff, and others.
