Stop Sign Update

From a Holly Street neighbor:

After contacting the police about so many vehicles running the stop sign at Oregon Hill Parkway and Pine St, they sent out an engineer to look at it. They got back to me today with a summary:
The RPD traffic division has contacted the Department of Public Works regarding the traffic issues you brought to our attention. Together, they have devised the following plan of action:
– Oregon Hill Pkwy and Pine St
o DPW plans to place a stop bar and improve the placement of the stop sign.
– Holly and Pine
o DPW will place a stop ahead sign and replace the stop sign for the eastbound movement

Utility Area Cleanup

This morning a group of volunteers worked to clean invasive plants, brush, debris, and litter from a ‘utility area’ behind Holly Street Playground.

The group consisted of neighbors Stephenie Harrington, Jimmy Blackford, Chris Milk, and some VCU students organized by coordinator Nicole Patterson.

Afterwords, they enjoyed a delicious lunch from Peddler on Pine.

They found hundreds of bottles and cans going back 20 years+ by the labels. They also found a Viewfinder, toy trucks, school chair seats, and a tire.

Solar Success

Congratulations to Phaedra and Eric for hosting a great Solar Open House this afternoon as part of the Richmond Solar Co-op. Over thirty people came to check out their recent large residential installation. More rooftop solar in the neighborhood will lead to a cleaner, more resilient neighborhood grid and is certainly a reason for celebration.

By the way, this morning the Tesla dealership out on West Broad featured a presentation on their home energy plans and the latest iteration of their Powerwall energy storage product.
