From the Union Hill Civic Association:
With your help, in recent months our momentum has grown for making the EPA-sponsored community design concept a reality.
Let’s look forward to the day we can walk, bike, drive, and shop safely along our “Main Street”!
- Cynthia Newbille, our City Council Representative, is committed to a better Jefferson Avenue, and is leading new efforts to secure funding. Be sure to thank Ms. Newbille if you see her!
- The Church Hill Association voted in support of our vision, and CHA representatives have joined the Union Hill Civic Association in advocating for the improvements.
- Department of Public Works staff intend to propose funding for the project, but are unsure whether this will be approved.
- Department of Public Utilities staff have indicated their support for a greener and safer Jefferson Avenue, and intend to seek grant funding for a storm-water retention project, similar to a rain garden, near Jefferson Park
.
Recently CHPN attended a meeting with the Jefferson Avenue Task Force and Cynthia Newbille. It was a great meeting of the minds and a reminder that there’s still a fair amount of work to be done. We will be writing a series of articles based on all the players and keeping you up-to-date.

“Jefferson Ave. update —posted by Gustavo at 6:00AM!!”
Dear City of Richmond – I know a guy named Gustavo. He would like to go for an early morning walk. Please move forward with your plans so that Gustavo has a safe place to go in the wee hours of the morning.

Har har SA Chaplin, we schedule things in advance sometimes and I randomly chose 6AM 🙂 Thanks for noticing the little things!
So… we are adding more trees?
looking at that PDF again makes my heart flutter. I’m super excited to see these plans moving forward. How can residents help make this a reality?
I guess that’s what the follow-up pieces will be about, but I’m just so pumped abotu this!
This is so cool! Please let me know how I can help.
