Totally cool article about land use, smart growth, and public space in the Richmond region (and written by PSG staff!!)

Transit, walking, and biking connections to local libraries can create opportunities for community, safety, and public enrichment. A library near Richmond could have been a prime example, but it falls short: ggwash.org/view/97400/librar…

"Our city will have over a dozen large grocery stores." "...and will they be distributed evenly among the population centers?" "No, four of them will be located within a block of one another...and no one will be able to adequately explain why that is so."

Richmond history: Before the Fall Line Trail, there was the Ashland Electric Railway

Part of the path will run alongside a long-vanished trolley railway, one that used to carry passengers from Broad Street to downtown Ashland every hour.

In the Richmond area, including Chesterfield & Henrico, there is an average of 235 pedestrian crashes per year + 21 pedestrian deaths. Despite efforts in the city/counties, including safety improvements like speed tables & new sidewalks, those numbers aren’t going down. Why?

Huge thanks to the many Richmond Community organizations who sponsored and coordinated one of our last, and certainly most fun forums! And big thanks to @wordsbywillis and @sarahvogelsong for moderating👏🏼👏🏼
Andreas Addison dressed in a suit stands at a podium, joyfully raising his arms as colorful streamers burst into the air. The backdrop displays "AUDIENCE QUESTIONS" on a large screen. Other panelists seated at the table in front of a banner reading "MAYORATHON 2024" look on with smiles.

Aging, leaking pipes are bad for safety, bad for energy costs, and bad for the environment. Thanks to the Biden-Harris infrastructure law, communities across the U.S., including in Richmond, now have the funds they need to repair and replace miles and miles of outdated pipes.

I believe that @andreasrva is the best choice for Mayor for Richmond. The current level of dysfunction at City Hall has led to serious impacts for Richmonders. As a result, the community members I serve often go without food and essential resources. 1/

Danny Avula wants Richmond to believe that he’s always been a leader for reproductive freedom. He's spent hundreds of thousands on ads trying to make us believe it. The truth is he hasn’t. This is a thread to show some holes in his claims - though there may be more.🧵
