Cruise the Main a call for unity, peace in Richmond

By Mike Kinney The lowrider community and other truck, car and motorcycle clubs cruised 23rd Street in Richmond on Sunday in order to celebrate family and promote a safer community. Families lined 23rd Street in a display of multicultural unity and peace. Lowrider events held here during the late 1970s and 1980s were all about families coming together to enrich communities, said Sal Garcia, one of the volunteer coordinators for the Cruise the Main event. “We all grew up as family during those times,” Garcia said. “We want the younger generation to understand about community pride and unity.” Saturday’s event featured dozens of auto clubs from Richmond and also throughout the Bay Area. The event is occurring in the wake of a rash of gun violence in Richmond and surrounding communities.

Proposed Hilltop Mall Safe Park program faces community opposition

By Mike Kinney A proposed, one-year pilot program providing safe haven for RV dwellers in a portion of the Hilltop Mall parking lot is receiving staunch opposition from neighbors. The Safe Parking Pilot Program has been a goal of the city’s for several years, and officials say the need for it has only grown amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, as the city has seen an exponential growth in people living in their vehicles. On Feb. 2, city staff presented to council three of what they considered the most ideal of 35 evaluated locations to host the pilot program, which would be operated by a nonprofit. They included the Lighthouse Building at 1800 Barrett Ave.; the Fire Training Center at Cutting Boulevard and Stege Avenue, and the Richmond Civic Center employee parking lot across from the Main Library at 27th Street and Nevin Ave.

Of 35 sites, these three emerged as top staff recommendations to launch the Safe Parking Pilot Program for individuals living in their cars. (Images credited to City of Richmond and Google Maps) Richmond is seeking a location to establish a Safe Parking Pilot Program that will provide a secure place for people who live in their cars to sleep and access services. On Tuesday, Richmond City Council will be asked to provide city staff with direction on site selection for the pilot program. The ideal site would be able to accommodate about 30 vehicles, including RVs and cars, a temporary trailer or tent for on-site service providers, along with fencing, lighting, and hookups for water and/or electrical, according to the city.
