Councilman Jones to hold meeting on flooding
issues in the Richmond South Central 9th Voter District
WHAT Richmond, Virginia
- The Honorable Michael J. Jones, Councilman, Richmond City Council,
Richmond South Central 9th Voter District, will hold a meeting to discuss
flooding issues in the Richmond South Central 9th Voter District.
"Flooding has
been an ongoing problem in the Ninth District, and it will continue to happen
as heavy rains and serious storms become more frequent due to the increasing
global temperature," says Councilman Jones. "Water often stands
needlessly for days after it rains and flooding has blocked neighborhood roads
off completely and this negatively impacts the health, safety, and quality of
life of our families; creates fetid breeding areas for mosquitoes and disease; and,
makes hazardous and challenging transportation routes. We need to fix this."
"I am
strongly committed to building, fixing, and improving streets, curbs, gutters,
roads, sidewalks, alleys, and infrastructure in the Ninth District and I need
my fellow residents to join me in advocating for these necessary
improvements," says Councilman Jones.
"I want all
Ninth District residents to come out and share how
flooding has adversely impacted their lives, ask questions, bring photos and
videos, and receive answers," says Councilman Jones. "Now is the time
to speak, listen, learn, and be heard and I hope I can count on everyone to
join me in taking a leadership role in addressing this important issue on
behalf of all our Ninth District families,
friends, and visitors," says Councilman Jones.
Councilman Jones will be joined by Mr. Calvin Farr, Director,
and Mr. Howard Glenn, Deputy Director of Operations, for the Richmond
Department of Public Utilities.
