I love the new ✨protected✨ bike lanes on 1st & 3rd Streets, but why do they stop at the bridge over I-95⁉️ Don’t people in Gilpin & Northside deserve a safe connection downtown? 🚴🏽🚴🏿‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️💨 Let’s have @DPW_RichmondVA extend them up North Ave to Brookland Park Boulevard!

Crossing the road outside a crosswalk will no longer be cause for arrest thanks to a bill from Del. @HopeForVirginia. 🚸 In my latest for @MercuryVirginia hear why that’s a good thing from @BradleyRHaywood of @JusticeFwdVA, @ctbrown1911 & @AlxSafeStreets.

It seems drivers haven’t gotten the memo not to park in the new 1st Street bike lane. 🤦🏼‍♂️ At least this tree is on top of enforcement. 🌳

It’s a little dark but let’s check out the new bike lanes on Patterson and Malvern (sorry for the weird angle)

@ustinbb @000RVA @RVARapidTransit Awful

[Student Transit Collective @transit_student]

Simply stated, @kimgray4rva zooming on her phone and in her car simultaneously on a street like Grove Ave is a bigger threat than any GRTC bus. This is embarrassing and against our city + state laws.

🚨 Today’s the LAST DAY to do something quick & meaningful to support @GRTCtransit & the lives of folks who rely upon the bus to get around! Don’t let a few privileged people in the Fan derail better bus service for the whole city. 🚌💨 Send an easy email with the below template:

[Student Transit Collective @transit_student]

Things more effective than tweeting about the way GRTC should be (77 GROVE EDITION):

1️⃣ Emailing a public comment in support of route changes. See template below!
2️⃣ Riding the 77 to prove people need this route

Let’s go check out the progress on Brook Road 🤙🏼 https://t.co/wZ1RL9PEYY

We’re closing the main parking lots that provide access to the James on weekends for the duration of the stay at home order. I hope that people will be reasonable & stay at home this weekend. No party or hangout is worth it. Think of your neighbors. #saferandstrongerathome #1RVA
