  Richmond Needs a Sidewalks Policy
November 20, 2017
 

The recent announcement by the police chief that the laws against parking on sidewalks will finally be enforced was met with almost universal appreciation. Many people wanted to know why it took so long and why even delay it until the middle of December?|

Blocking sidewalks with vehicles is just one part of larger challenge of creating and maintaining a walkable city that includes functional sidewalks, street trees and well-maintained parking strips – as well as complete streets.

Richmond Needs a Sidewalks Policy

We don’t need any new laws or polices – most have been in place for several years or more. What we need is a combination of enforcement, education, peer pressure and community motivation to make Richmond a safer and healthier place.
