Street murals, TOD zoning on city planning agenda
The Richmond Planning Commission meets at 1:30 p.m. Monday. Full agenda here.
Business on the regular agenda includes a proposal from Bike Walk RVA to paint street murals and install wooden planter boxes as traffic-calming measures on Hull Street at 11th Street and at Lynnhaven and Wright avenues in the Oak Grove-Bellemeade neighborhood.
The murals would be painted by Richmond artist Silly Genius and are intended to enliven the areas and alert drivers to pedestrians and bicyclists. The murals would be multicolored and funded by Sports Backers/Bike Walk RVA through an AARP Community Challenge Grant.
