Just over 100 years after being annexed into city of Richmond, both sides of the 2400 block of R Street are getting new cement sidewalks.

This has been carried to the 2300 block of R Street, too. Heard yesterday that the new sidewalks will go all the way to 21st Street.
I heard from the City on Tuesday that the east side of North 29th (600 block) will get a new brick sidewalk from the corner store @ East Leigh all the way to M Street (It only took 1.5 years of asking the City for a sidewalk to make it happen). I’m excited to finally have a sidewalk in place so the pedestrians hopefully won’t walk in the street as much. Our neighbors also purchased street trees, which were installed two weeks ago. The block is really taking shape now.
Rumor has been floating around, too, that the western side of the 900 block of N. 26th will be getting a new sidewalk, though I haven’t heard confirmation on the type of material or timeline. Either way, something is happening, because Miss Utility has marked the entire block. We also requested our sidewalk improvements over a year ago, so this is very exciting news.
Ryan, is that 29th street or 30th? There is no store on the corner of 29 and Leigh.
tiny, 29th Street: I’m referring to Trent’s Barber Shop and the Ice Cream Shop/Convenience Store at North 29th & East Leigh Streets.
