Get ready for a list:
- Major bus corridors to be replaced by BRT
- sidewalks everywhere
- protected bike lanes connecting a safe bike network, separate from major roads like Hull or Broad, but paralleling them on oversized local streets.
- High Speed Rail. Or just better/more frequent rail in general, connecting us to the cities we’re currently connected to, but also to Charlottesville and west from there.
- pedestrian bridge at Rockett’s Landing, another around downtown since T Pott gets soooooo crowded when the weather is nice and it takes forever to cross. And another around the nickel bridge. And the hanging bridge to Belle Isle to be the expanded, so that it’s less crowded and can be used as a path connecting Southside to north side
- more parks in Southside
- downtown parking lots to be replaced with something useful
- city stadium to be renovated
- the Fall Line Trail to be magically and suddenly done
- the redevelopment of Mayo’s Island into a park to be magically done
- the Bridge Park RVA project to be done magically
- Casino (jk fuck no)
- The James Monroe Building to be demolished and turned into a transit center, where all buses meet including stuff like greyhound, as well as connecting to Main Street station.
- the grave site at Lumpkins jail to be turned into a museum commemorating the people buried there
- more housing, duh. Personally would like more of the urban form like that in the fan.
Yeah this is all I think about.
