101 Reasons to Love Living in Richmond __________ Liz Moore 101 REASONS TO LOVE LIVING IN RICHMOND Copyright © 2017 by Lynette Tully All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without written permission from the author. Printed in USA by 48HrBooks (www.48HrBooks.com) 2 Dedication This book is dedicated to my son, Grayson, who enthusiastically researched all of the reasons to love living in RVA to put together this book, and to our amazing REALTOR team in Richmond, for sharing their wealth of experiences. A special shout out goes to Karen Haywood, our amazing RVA Office Admin, for her eagle eye proof reading and invaluable editing. 3 Foreword As you might imagine, at Liz Moore & Associates we are enthusiastic advocates of living in Richmond and its surrounding communities. We have the best of all worlds: four distinct seasons with just enough snow in the winter to have fun; long, lazy summers, and SPECTACULAR springs and falls. We have great schools, plenty of history and culture, and are convenient to just about everything…the beach, the mountains, Washington DC, and much more. When I opened my own real estate brokerage in 2003, it was very important to me that our role as agents be about considerably more than helping people buy and sell houses. One of my agents uses the tagline, “selling homes, not houses, and understanding the difference.” That pretty much sums up what we’re all about! Our mission from the beginning at Liz Moore & Associates has been to deliver an exceptional client experience. We recognize that for our buyer clients, that goes far beyond helping them find the perfect house. It’s about helping them decide on a community, and then a neighborhood, that matches the lifestyle they’re looking for. It means being a resource, whether someone is relocating with their job or seeking the best place to retire. Then, after they move in, being a resource for the best handymen, painters and plumbers! Everyone’s needs and wants are different, which means there is not a “one size fits all” approach to real estate. Our job is to understand what’s important to our clients, and to make that our 4 mission in finding their dream home. One of the perks of being a REALTOR is that over the years, we are able to build an incredible repertoire of shared experiences about the communities in which we live. The hard part of writing this book was to narrow it down to 101 reasons to love living here. It would be impossible to include everything, and so we tried to stick to our favorite things. I’ve we’ve missed something, please don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected], and we’ll consider adding it to the next edition. Thank you for choosing this book, and entrusting us to be your guide through the myriad of wonderful things to do in Richmond! Now, grab a highlighter, and pick out some fun things to do this weekend! 5 6 101 Reasons to Love Living in Richmond 1.

  • Chesterfield County Bikeways and Trails Plan

    Chesterfield County Bikeways and Trails Plan

    CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BIKEWAYS AND TRAILS PLAN Draft February 2015 Photo by Jim Waggoner Chesterfield County Planning Department CHAPTER X : BIKEWAYS AND TRAILS PLAN Overview Encouraging a safe and accessible bicycle and pedestrian friendly community is an important part of keeping Chesterfield County an attractive, desirable and healthy place to live, work, shop and recreate. Communities across Virginia and the nation are realizing that biking and walking amenities have a bigger impact than improving the safety of cyclists, walkers and motorists; they are economic development tools that attract new business, provide tourism destinations for visitors and aid in the physical and mental health of their residents. This plan sets the stage to develop a core network of countywide bikeways and trails that address both transportation and recreational needs. Implementation of this plan will provide a safe and comfortable network to walk and bike as viable alternative transportation choices and connect residential areas to destinations such as shopping, services, parks, libraries, jobs and schools. The purpose of this plan is to identify the core network of bikeways and trails, establish design guidelines for the various facility types and recommend policies and ordinances that will develop and enhance this network. This plan supports many of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan including providing a high quality of life for residents and attracting visitors and businesses to our unique environmental, historical and cultural resources. HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER This plan provides guidelines and recommendations that should be implemented when considering development proposals or public infrastructure projects. The general location of the core network has been identified in this plan, and new rezoning, development plans, and public facility and infrastructure projects should align with this plan by providing facilities to accommodate and enhance the bikeways and trails network.

Since 1788 bridges have connected south of the river to downtown Richmond . The ferocity of the James River, industrialization and bridge construction have all combined to shape the modern footprint of the island today. The Mayo family of Richmond obtained a charter to construct and operate a toll bridge across the James River in 1785. The first bridge opened in 1788 and was the first span across the James River replacing earlier ferry crossings. The consolidation agreement between Manchester and Richmond in 1910 required a new bridge to connect Hull and 14th Streets.
