Description
Brookland Park Ave (Chamberlayne > east) is in need of traffic calming measures (curb bumpouts, chicanes, etc) due to consistently fast driving speeds >25 mph with failure to yield to pedestrians and other roads users. Crosswalks are not well marked or nonexistent, and drivers do not yield to those with right-of-way. Recommend repairing and expanding sidewalks particularly between Chamberlayne and Richmond Henrico Turnpike where the greenway is.

This new sidewalk request will be entered into the project tracking database to be reviewed for next year’s budget.
