What is missing in this plan?

Plans are underway to enlarge Forest Hill Ave between Stratford Hill Shopping Center and the Powhite Parkway -- most accidents (including those involving cyclists) happen at each end of this corridor – the current plans being pushed by the City DO NOT address either of these sections.

This will be a missed opportunity to make our streets safer, unless we insist the plans be revised to address some key concerns including: the sightline for the RMA exit lane, left turn access for cyclists onto Forest Hill Ave, full 5’ bike lanes, and extending the lanes up to the Shopping Center.

Write the project manager and TELL HIM THIS: Kevin.Newcomb@richmondgov.com

Also email the Urban Design Committee ( DCDCompPlan@richmondgov.com ) and the Richmond Planning Commission ( DCDLandUseAdmin@richmondgov.com ) to ask they NOT APPROVE any plan that comes short of addressing these concerns!
