Description
I have been sideswiped THREE times in one yr while parked on the west side of the street. This reoccurring issue shows that something needs to be changed about how that block functions. Other residents on the street have experienced similar issues with sideswiping due to the width and amount of traffic on this block. ideas: 1. Close strawberry st to non-local traffic. 2. Remove the parklet in front of Scoop/only allow parking on one side of the street 3. Make Strawberry st one way.

- Staff · August 24, 2023- Request to close a street Closing a street requires City Council action. - Parklets I suggest you inquire via Right-of-Way Management | Richmond (rva.gov) - Request for one-way street The latest eight years of DMV crash data shows one reported side-swipe crash on Strawberry between Park and Stuart therefore no further actions by DPW are planned at this time. (If the property owners along Strawberry can support either changing to one-way or eliminate parking on one curb and can gather the support of their Council Member then DPW will make the change.)
