Brick Sidewalk Work Celebrated
Many neighbors along S. Laurel Street are very excited and appreciative about the brick sidewalk work that is being done.
Neighbor Kathy Talley had this to day:
I am especially pleased at how the handicapped accessible corners were done at Laurel and Spring: as much brick as possible was preserved. It is a huge improvement over what was done at Pine and Spring a couple of years ago: just using all concrete. The new method should become the city standard.
Still to be done:
(I think we can cross off #7 off the old list.)

After The Storm…
A severe thunderstorm last night brought down some tree branches and many area residents lost power, but with a tornado warning and VCU sirens blaring, neighbors know it could have been much worse.
Accident At S. Laurel and Spring
Amidst the brick sidewalk repair, there was this accident this morning. Notes: the City of Richmond’s traffic and hazards site is not updating. While there have been neighbor requests for four way stop signs and suggested roundabouts in the past, this intersection is still where one way Laurel goes through two way Spring with stop signs on Spring.
Road Closed (s)
Lots of unannounced road work going on right now.
Earlier, Laurel Street at W.Cary Street (see photo), Laurel at Spring Street, and South Pine at Holly were all closed.
Lake Laurel Street
Photo taken this morning. Alley conditions were a big source of conversation last night at the neighborhood association meeting (maybe we start a GoFundMe campaign for gravel?). This problem has been in existence for years, and I keep going back to an earlier post about the future of our alleys.
