They weren't done on time under Jones.

On schools look at the timeframe that RPS has for George Wythe and compare that to Stoney's three. He did 3 schools in 5 years vs RPS deciding to do 1 school in 8.
Venture Richmond doesn't run DPW. Neither them nor Bike/Walk RVA does the road redesigns that dieted car kanes into dedicated bike paths. The City of Richmond did. Local government did that, not an advocacy organization. In my work we have to operate differently as a result of Vision Zero to better accommodate pedestrians at construction sites. Before, no one at City Hall cared if we did anything concerning accomondating pedestrians, now we are held to a higher standard, and that likely saved lives at some of our high profile projects. We don't take orders from Venture Richmond, we take them from the City and their requirements changed.
The Master Plan to which we get zoning that came from it literally involved multiple departments. And the zoning only happens as a result of decisions that City Council & the Mayor decide upon.
We have less fighting now between RPS administration & Stoney vs RPS & Jones or RPS & Wilder. Where we have fights now is the Richmond For All cohort on the School Board vs all else whether internally in School Board or outside the school board.
