There will be 3 community meetings of note on Monday evening: the Richmond Department of Parks & Recreation will hold a focus group meeting to discuss and exchange ideas on the redesign of the Chimborazo Playground and Recreation area, the RTD will be hosting a “Public Square” on the James River and development, and the School Board will likely be voting on the Patrick Henry Charter School Initiative.

  • The Richmond Department of Parks & Recreation will hold a focus group meeting to discuss and exchange ideas on the redesign of the Chimborazo Playground and Recreation area. The meeting will be held on Monday, May 5, 2008 at 6:30 pm in in St. John’s Parish Hall.  For more information, contact Mr. Heywood Harrison, Parks Planner, Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities at 804-646-5608 or at Heywood.Harrison@richmondgov.com.
  • Calling all James River advocates! By now we hope you’ve heard that Scenic Virginia has been invited to participate in a Richmond Times-Dispatch-sponsored Public Square panel focusing on the future of the James River. The event is scheduled for Monday, May 5 from 7:00 – 8:30 pm at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, located at 300 East Franklin Street in Downtown. In particular, we will be making the case for a riverfront park east of Downtown, in order to preserve the historic viewshed from Libby Hill Park in Church Hill and to preserve public access to the river.
  • The Patrick Henry Charter School is open to any Richmond City elementary student and the upcoming School Board vote, likely to occur on 5/5/08, will impact every child and district within the city limits. They’re asking for your help. Find out more.
