Hell no to pedestrian bridges. Only reinforces car dominance when traffic calming would be more effective to addressing the root cause of the issue and be cheaper.

The busses are pretty hit or miss, but biking for transportation here is pretty great when you get past the aggro and angry drivers.

I do this already living downtown and it is very very doable (esp with you having an e bike) Richmond is relatively small (less than 5 miles from west to east). Dm me if you have any questions about logistics or tips.

An even sadder fact is that we still have much better transit than most other cities our size.

GRTC’s board of directors obviously doesn’t use the service at all. The people running the organization don’t care about it running well. I tried using the bus when I wasn’t able to bike anymore when I got a blood clot earlier this year, got so fed up with the bus that I bought an e bike so I could get around reliably again.

Trust me it’s just a hot topic here. If you didn’t look at this subreddit you probably won’t notice them happening at all. Esp if you’re on campus.
