Equitable transportation guidelines adopted by Richmond City Council

For decades, infrastructure projects in Richmond have prioritized cars over other forms of transportation. Monday night, City Council approved guidelines intended to change that.  Richmond's Path to Equity plan commits the city to improving pedestrian safety. Current transportation infrastructure often fails to adequately protect pedestrians, such as this uncontrolled crosswalk that connects Blackwell Elementary School to Charlie Sydnor Playground on Richmond's Southside.
