Of course, there’s a lot more to the Richmond Connects plan (buses, trains, etc.) and there is still time to submit comments.

From email:
Starting Wednesday, April 3, contractors for the Department of Public Utilities will be making drainage repairs at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Belvidere and Cumberland streets. Two lanes of Belvidere headed south will be closed for 2-3 days to install a manhole. One lane of Belvidere and one land of Cumberland will then be closed for approximately three weeks.
Parking will be limited in this area during April, which will impact VCU students. Repairs include replacement of two drop inlets, installation of a manhole, repair of an existing drop inlet, and curb and gutter construction. Estimated completion date is May 1.
