Heed the signs and avoid the tows!
This past weekend’s winter storm continues to impact mobility, with neighborhoods and roads still very icy.









Urban transportation and history nerds may take some time to ponder how the Richmond Union Passenger Railway would be handling this, if it were still in existence.



Work crews have been busy installing new water meters and preparing Oregon Hill streets for speed bumps. After a tragic string of pedestrian fatalities recently, the City is pushing hard to put traffic calming measures into place.

Looking down Laurel Street… Drive safe!


By the way, a short video from the roof of Pine Street Baptist Church was posted online and some commenters did not seem to understand it was before the snowfall…

KEEP AN EYE ON THE SIGNS: WARN YOUR NEIGHBORS: OREGON HILL SCHEDULED STREET CLOSURES
OHNA has not been provided with specific days when the individual streets will be closed so KEEP YOUR EYES OUT FOR SIGNS!
During this period these streets will be closed at various times for milling and paving. PAY ATTENTION to signs indicating particular blocks and streets. If you will be away during this time, find a safe place to park your car, or empower a neighbor to move it for you.
