Accident at Pine and Spring
The Labor Day quiet was disturbed this afternoon by an accident at S. Pine and Spring. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Just received this timely reminder from the Richmond Police Department:
Drive Safely, Back to School Begins Tomorrow
September 5, 2016
Motorists are urged to use extra caution on the roads as students head back to class on Tuesday for the start of a new school year.
School buses will roll through city streets, picking up students from bus stops and ferrying them to schools across the city. Children will also be walking to school along city sidewalks.
“School safety is always a priority,” said Chief Alfred Durham. “As school begins, we will have officers driving by schools and bus stops as well as visiting school buildings to make their presence know, interact with the youth and help facilitate a safe learning environment for the students.”
Police ask motorists to drive safely at all times, especially in school zones, and to be aware of students at bus stops. Drivers are reminded that passing a stopped school bus with its lights flashing is a traffic violation that could result in a significant fine.

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.
Yard Sale
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.
