Designed in 1926, Windsor Farms is one of Richmond's first planned neighborhoods. It was designed to look like an English village, with curvy streets and English names like Dover, Canterbury, Berkshire, etc. There are a variety of architectural styles, the most common being Colonial Revival and Cape Cod. Lots are anywhere from half an acre to 23 acres. Windsor Farms has a couple of historical buildings, including Agecroft Hall, a 16th century tudor mansion and Virginia House and both moved from England in the 20th century. Windsor Farms borders Cary Street Road to the north, the Downtown Expressway to the east, the James River and several areas to the south, and the neighborhoods of Lockgreen and Westmoreland Place to the west. Several prominent architecturally significant houses were designed by Virginia-born Duncan Lee and William Lawrence Bottomley of New York. The Richmond Ride began in 1992 and was the first event to kick off Strawberry Hill Race Week, a series of events leading up to the Strawberry Hill Races, an annual spring steeplechase. 2 RICHMOND RIDE REGISTRATION FORM NAME_____________________________________________________________________ ADDRESS___________________________________________________________________ CITY_________________________________STATE_______ZIP_______________________ PHONE: (______)______________________ EMAIL ADDRESS_____________________________________________________________ PLEASE ATTACH A COPY OF YOUR CURRENT NEGATIVE COGGINS CERTIFICATE (dated May 1, 2020 or later) Registration Fee: $35 per rider; make check payable to FRMS (must be received by April 21); After April 21: $45 if space available (Ride limited to 60 riders) All participants must sign Release Form (release of liability, waiver of right to sue, and assumption of all risks) Mail to: FRMS 507 N.

  • 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.

  • The Hope of Spring the Home Blossoms Once Again
    Number 46 / Spring 2021 The Hope of Spring The Home Blossoms Once Again Spring — as the end of the pandemic tunnel gets brighter and brighter, has a season ever been more anticipated and welcomed? Spring is the season of hope — the assuredness that things will get better after a long, dark winter. It is the season of new beginnings and the return of grass, daffodils and cherry blossoms! This year those feelings of hope are profound and we have never welcomed POLLEN with such open arms! Like spring, hope is a vital component in sustaining health and well-being — a much needed remedy after a year that included so much isolation and restricted movement here at The Home. Spring restores our balance and lifts our spirits. We soak up the sun, set aside the sweaters, and prepare our Virginia Home patios and garden for a second home under the sky. The Home and Garden Awaken This spring we feel that we are truly coming out of the darkness. We’re enjoying the change from longer nights to longer, warmer days. And right on cue with the Equinox, our residents made their return to freedom throughout the building and grounds. It has been a joy to see residents basking in the sunshine, laughing with long-missed friends and participating in group activities. Residents are also back to work in our therapy departments after a long hiatus. Throughout the building there is an overall boost in our collective mood, well-being and energy! And since every get-together is made better by a comfortable place to gather, we were so grateful to benefit from a brand new Eagle Scout project! Grant Fell of Mechanicsville designed and built two wheelchair accessible picnic tables for the garden.
