Come and experience the “Living Preview” of Richmond’s Yellow Brick Road project! Working together with government and community partners, our goal is to design street improvements that will:
a) Slow cars down
b) Create a network of child and family-friendly streets that encourage people to walk and ride a bike to get to key destinations in the Iron Triangle neighborhood and around all of Richmond
All community members are welcome to attend and provide feedback on proposed design changes (in 3-D!). We want to incorporate your feedback into the final design.
