  • Draft Bon Air Special Area Plan Detailed Unedited Citizen Comments Compiled from Community Meetings, Emails and Internet Form April/May 2015
    Draft Bon Air Special Area Plan Detailed Unedited Citizen Comments Compiled from community meetings, emails and internet form April/May 2015 Comment Response Raw Comment # # Unfortunately, I do not see much in this plan to address the traffic problems that exist along Buford Rd. For cars turning onto/off of Buford, the traffic can be horrendous. Particularly bad is the intersection of Rockaway & Buford but there are other problem spots as well. 1 There is nothing here to address that concern. I would have hoped to see possibly some talk 3 of adding traffic lights or turning some intersections into 4 way stops. Perhaps even banning left turns at certain intersections at certain times of day. In my mind, traffic is one of the biggest issues in this area. On the topic of sidewalks... I know it is a hot button issue. I was initially a huge supporter because it sounds like a great idea. Then I heard the amount of land it takes, and my 2 4, 17 goodness, it changed my mind. Can the trees that would have to be removed be flagged or marked in some way, so as people consider the issue they can SEE the impact? Thank you. As someone who owns property on Bannon Rd., I am not too pleased with this plan. One thing being overlooked is that there is a need for smaller one level single family residence. 3 5 Surely, someone could have developed a plan that did not destroy the established neighborhood that I reside in. I thought this plan was dedicated to preserving what we have.

  • SPRING 2013 400 Years of Richmond History in Only 50 Objects
    SPRING 2013 400 Years of Richmond History in Only 50 Objects Known by some local citizens as “Richmond’s Attic,” the Valentine Richmond History Center has recently gone global while remaining local with a new exhibition, “A History of Richmond in 50 Objects” (RVA50). Inspired by and paying homage to “A History of the World in 100 Objects,” the groundbreaking partnership of the British Museum and BBC Radio 4 in 2010 that focused on world history through the eyes of one hundred experts, this exhibition continues the dialogue in a way that is uniquely Richmond and was curated by David B. Voelkel, the new Elise H. Wright Curator of General Collections. He used this project as an opportunity to delve into the museum’s holdings of more than 1.5 million objects. RVA50 explores the history of Richmond, Virginia, through a selection of objects from across the general, archives, and costume and textile collections. Creating a balanced exhibition led to many curatorial moments of decision as to inclusion and exclusion as one by one various possible museum artifacts were unearthed from their storage locations for examination and consideration. Each object had to compete for one of the limited 50 spaces not only in historical Continued on page 2 Four Hundred Years... Continued from page 1 significance, but in size, form, and type. The designation of the #1 object is on the historical chronology rather than a ranking of “importance” – a murky place in any instance. From #1 - an 1819 imprint of John Smith’s 1624 Map of Virginia to #50 - the rainbow flag that flew at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in 2011, RVA50 examines how objects contain layers of meaning that are both personal and public.

  • What's out There Richmond
    What’s Out There® Richmond Richmond, VA Dear What’s Out There Richmond Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Richmond, organized by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) with support from national and local partners. The materials in this guidebook will inform you about the history and design of this modern city at the Falls of the James River, a place referred to as “Non-such” by colonists to express its incomparability. Please keep and enjoy this guidebook for future explorations of Richmond’s diverse landscape heritage. In 2013, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, TCLF embarked upon What’s Out There Virginia, a survey of the Commonwealth’s landscape legacy, conceived to add more than 150 significant sites to the What’s Out There online database. As the program matured and our research broadened, TCLF developed What’s Out There Weekend Richmond, the tenth in an ongoing series of city- and regionally-focused tour Photo by Meg Eastman, courtesy Virginia Historical Society events that increase the public visibility of designed landscapes, their designers, and patrons. The two-day event held in October 2014 provided residents and tourists free, expert-led tours of the nearly thirty sites included in this guidebook and are the result of exhaustive, collaborative research. The meandering James River has, through the ages, been the organizing landscape feature of Richmond’s development, providing power to drive industry along with a navigable tidal section and canal network for transportation. The city became the governmental seat for the Confederacy and, following the Civil War and the period of Reconstruction, benefitted from the City Beautiful movement, which promoted symmetry, balance, grandeur, and monumentality.

The pumps were oper- ated by water power, the water enter- ing through the three square open- ings, turning wheels, and exiting 20 feet below into the lower canal.
