Traffic Concerns Grow

photo

The past few evenings have seen a LOT of traffic on S. Cherry Street. Neighbors attribute these gridlock conditions to a variety of reasons- VCU students coming back from winter break, VCU basketball schedule, audience attending Jersey Boys show at the Landmark, lane closures on Belvidere Street, construction on a water main at Cumberland and S. Harrison, etc. At one point it took over 20 minutes to drive in a car from the 600 block of S. Cherry Street to Cumberland.

Folks are also interested in knowing the status of the Idlewood roundabout project, and how Venture Richmond’s amphitheater plans (to be considered next at City’s Planning Commission on Jan. 21st) will impact neighborhood traffic.

  1. According to the Secretary of the Planning Commission Lory Markham, she can include in her packet to the planning commission any letters that you want to send regarding Venture Richmond’s proposed amphitheater, so long as she receives them by TODAY.

    Attached is the contact information for the Planning Commission, and if you like you can send letters directly to the Planning Commission members in advance of the Tues. Jan 21st meeting.
