Stakeholder's Group Membership - Comprised of residents, merchants, developers and the City of Richmond Sam McDonald Dwanye Martin Sosie Hublitz Erika Gay Kathy Emerson Phil Conein Bill Chapman David Bass Eric Anderson

Historically, this section of downtown is the oldest and there has never been a comprehensive transportation study to address all of the transportation modes that coexist in the area. We are interested in preventing additional pedestrian and other vehicular accidents as well as making the transportation system’s operating functions more intuitive and user-friendly for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, and vehicles in the Shockoe Bottom area.

The Department is interested and is looking for support and input from the surrounding businesses, residents, city agencies, and visitors to the Farmer’s Market and the surrounding Shockoe Bottom businesses. The Shockoe Bottom District is one of the most historic parts of the City and pedestrian safety is the key element in any decisions to be made regarding traffic flow.

The Stakeholders' Group in May 2004 issued a preliminary report and recommendations, which you can download or read by clicking the links below.*
