Careful: Yield Sign Missing On Idlewood
The Yield sign near Grayland/Idlewood is missing. This is an extremely dangerous intersection even with the yield sign there. This is just east of Harrison Street next to the off ramp for the 195 expressway. There have already been calls to the City and Police about this and it should be fixed soon if not already.
After The Storm…
A severe thunderstorm last night brought down some tree branches and many area residents lost power, but with a tornado warning and VCU sirens blaring, neighbors know it could have been much worse.
10K Traffic on Idlewood
Photos this morning of traffic on Idlewood, mainly from the Monument 10K race. You can see where it’s backing up 195 Belvidere exit.
Speaking of Idlewood, Mayoral candidate/citizen activist Rick Tatnall recently inquired with Councilperson Parker Agelasto about the upcoming Idlewood roundabout project. Agelasto says that the project has been hung up by the Richmond Metropolitan Transportation Authority and legal paperwork for a small easement on RMTA property. There should be a resolution soon on this. It will then go out for bids and construction with the hopes of being completed this year.
Heavy Reading
This bible is stowed away on the public sculpture at the corner of Belvedere and Idlewood, perhaps for future reference.

Harassment At Idlewood and Belvidere
They harass me by yelling expletives and walking menacingly toward me (they never ask for money — it’s mostly vulgar catcalls), and I started feeling so unsafe that I modified my route (adding about 10 minutes to my commute) so I could avoid that corner.
The columnist contacted the police about the situation.
Lepley also said that anyone can call the nonemergency number at (804) 646-5100 to report harassment and ask for the sector lieutenant to call back regarding the issue.
One more salient point from the reader’s email:
“What can I do about this issue? I feel really sorry for them, but I just don’t feel safe and I would like to be able to walk to work without fear of facing these really scary situations every morning,” she wrote.
