Plans for Zip Lines Across James River
Last night at the Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association meeting, most of the discussion was about Venture Richmond forcing a 10,000 person theater upon the neighborhood, with no restrictions.
There was also a short presentation by Kern Smith on a business plan to put zip lines across the James River in several places, including a site near the Lee Bridge on Oregon Hill’s side. It remains to be seen if this will be considered an acceptable use under the James River Park Conservation Easement.
Here is a video of a zip line, similar to what is being proposed, in action in San Francisco:
“Works Done on Purpose”
Laurel Street neighbor and artist Paul Teeples has a show across the river at The Nest gallery and antique store called “Works Done on Purpose”. His work will be on display there until Oct. 15.
