The bike lanes need protected on that bridge. Nothing like getting buzzed by some asshole doing 70 mph or getting steamrolled by a loose trailer. It's a huge liabilty and one that could be remedied I feel like. The bridge doesn't need three full lanes, just make a protected lane so cyclists and peds can feel at lease some degree of safety.

Yes and we have running water, too

Yup, that’s Semmes Ave.

Yea that would make sense. It’s sad to say but I feel like a lot of people who would like to walk have just given up on braving these intersections for fear of getting killed or seriously maimed.

Have they seen Bainbridge and Hull or any intersection on Semmes Ave.? This is one map I'm happy to see the southside left off of but def skeptical as to how none of these are listed as some of the worst intersections.

We have never had an issue in WH. Some neighbors have had a shed broken into there or a car rummaged through here and there. Normal stuff for a city neighborhood.

Overall both are classic neighborhoods in the city that were founded as streetcar suburbs way back when. We’ve been in the area for two years so all this is subject to change, but as it currently stands:

Dislikes: Semmes Ave., varying degrees of walkability throughout both neighborhoods depending on where you’re at, public transit is a little underdeveloped compared to other neighborhoods in the city, car dependent for the most part, no grocery store in the immediate neighborhood(s), people who have something against the southside for no reason

Likes: Bike-able, WPA, Crossroads, Outpost, multiple access points to the James River Park System (trails and river), very easy access to downtown and the Fan (five minutes in a car, 15-20 on bike), quiet/sleepy, residential/friendly, Forest Hill Park, Carter Jones Park, historic feel, preserved houses with a lot of character
