It should not come as any surprise that one of the major goals of Richmond planners is to get VCU students out of their cars in order to alleviate congestion, pollution, and space being wasted on parking. One of the ways to accomplish this is by offering alternative transportation.
A new project called howirichmond deals with alternative transportation in Richmond (possibly other cities in the future). This group will be at Ellwood Thompson’s this weekend on Saturday and Sunday during business hours of 7am – 10pm both days with a table to pass out information they have collected from other community partners about forms of alternative transportation.
Presently they are concentrating on the development of their website and their event this weekend, but going into next year they hope to work with local partners in the community to benefit increased alternative transportation in the city.

Friends-
Im happy to announce that on Sunday, October 26th at 4 PM in
Monroe Park, The World Famous Bread and Puppet theatre will perform
for your pleasure. This company did a wonderful performance in the
same park last year and was a delight for young and old. The puppet
spectacle mixed with relevant social commentary made for a most
entertaining afternoon. There is no admission but donations are
gratefully accepted. Please mark your calendar and tell your friends.
Also, on Halloween (which is of course October 31), Lily
Lamberta’s All The Saints Theatre company will stage a wonderful
Halloween parade starting at 7 PM in Monroe Park and proceeding down
Laurel into Oregon Hill, coming back up Pine Street. This is also a
tradition not to be missed!
Todd.
