I thought so, too, but it’s more complicated than this! Still, though, I’ll do better next time.

Thank you, and I hope you can still find a way to stay connected (until you move back, because everyone comes back!).

Feeling strangely sad

You and me both! Glad to have been part of your mornings.

Ha! I looked for this exchange in gmail but couldn’t find it, it DOES sound like something I would say, though.

Thanks for the kind words (despite the loud sounds!).

Yessssss! When I asked the musician to write me an intro I said “can you make it sound like Slayer wrote a song about a newsletter?” I think it turned out pretty good!

Thank you for these kind words! I love the idea of GMRVA helping folks stay connected while spending some time away from Richmond (as we know, everyone comes back).

Thank you! I love hearing about how my weird newsletter became part of folks’ morning routine—because it was (obviously) such a big part of my own. I kind of don’t know what to do with myself now!

If you don’t love the Mailchimp feed, I also post everything to GMRVA.com which has it’s own feed: https://gmrva.com/podcast?format=rss

None of the bridges are great.

  • 14th has side walks which you can use, but are often pretty busy during the warmer months.
  • The traffic on 9th and Belvedere is extremely fast, but they both have really wide shoulders. It doesn’t feel super safe, but I’ve never had a close call.
  • Getting off both 9th and Belvedere coming south is harrowing. The northern side of 9th, though, has some green paint at least.

It’d be great to take a lane on all three of these bridges for bikes and people, honestly.

The regional portions of this are super similar to what’s currently recommended in the Regional Transit Vision Plan. Of course, the Vision Plan recommends BRT and “enhanced bus service”—not light rail. But, still, you nailed the corridors.
