Reply to comment by Chickenmoons in Student death sparks conversation on pedestrian safety at VCU by CrassostreaVirginica

Not every driver on Main/Cary is using them to get end to end though. Lots of businesses that are patronized and get deliveries. I usually opt for the highway to go farther even if it means tolls but I know that dissaudes some drivers.

The existence of businesses doesn’t require Main or Cary to be through streets. Side streets also exist as do alternate parallel streets. Just consider how much quieter and nicer streets like Hanover are and not coincidentally it doesn’t connect across 195 or across the Boulevard.

I swear people act like any minor prospect of change will cause the end of Richmond.

Not saying it would end Richmond. Just trying to evaluate the pros and cons and repercussions.
