The Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association (OHNA), at its February meeting, voted to oppose the Shockoe stadium proposal, due to the questionable finances and the possible destruction of important Richmond history.
OHNA meets again tomorrow evening at 7 pm at the William Byrd Community House. At 8 pm the meeting will focus on planning for the Idlewood roundabout project.

Neighbor Todd Woodson continues to help with the Idlewood traffic project.
He recently sent this to the committee members:
While we are awaiting design updates from our friends at Kimley – Horn, I thought i’d share some of the background of the area we are working to improve. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, i’ll simply start with a grid map from the 1924 Sanborn map (thanks, C Pool!). As you can see, the downtown expressway destroyed the northern portion of grid seen here. Harrison and Idlewood (also known as Beverly street) remain as they were laid out. The pink highlighter is a rough approximation of the exit ramp and Grayland redux surrounded by Harrison and Idlewood as they exist today. The second shot is a 1976 photograph of the downtown expressway right before it opened (looking east from where the toll booths would be today). This amenity truly fractured the Randolph and Oregon Hill neighborhoods and splintered our communities. We lost a total of 700 residences and experienced 150 business relocations from the expressway…
(RRHA owns the pie shaped parcel bordered by Harrison, Idlewood and Grayland.)
Perhaps the sunny weather this weekend has inspired him- Manny has announced the 3rd Annual Oregon Hill Memorial Day Soccer Tournament for Saturday, May 24.

7 vs 7; 30 minute halves on an irregular field. Six teams in tournament style play

This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup. But don’t be surprised if there is a delay in pickup due to the recent weather. Regardless, please make sure you pick up containers after pickup. They do not belong on the sidewalk after pickup.
VCU, University of Richmond, and other schools are currently competing in RecycleMania 2014.
There was a very interesting discussion about City recycling at a recent City Council Finance Committee meeting about the possibility of going to 96 gallon recycling containers in the future.
