WHAT The Honorable Ellen F. Robertson, Councilwoman, Richmond City Council, Gateway 6th District, invites all residents to attend the upcoming Eastview Neighborhood Planning Forum Meeting. The meeting is for interested property owners, residents, and business owners to participate in the development of an action plan for the Eastview Neighborhood area. This Planning forum is the first step in a collaborative process to produce a roadmap for the Eastview Neighborhood which can be used to help guide future development.
The action plan will focus on identifying, prioritizing, and developing implementation strategies for critical issues affecting the area. The issues to be considered may range from those related to the physical environment, such as addressing blighted housing and improving poorly maintained public property, to those related to human development and behavior, such as providing support systems for families and increasing police presence.
The area to be included within the Eastview Neighborhood Action Plan include the area generally bounded by U.S. Interstates 64 and 95 on the north and west, the Mechanicsville Turnpike and Mosby Street corridor on the east, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridge on the south.
