Related Projects: Grade Separation

 

BALLOTS NEEDING YOUR VOTE ARE GOING OUT THIS WEEK!!

The Town Hall meeting was held on Monday, Aug. 23.  Representatives from Richmond Redevelopment Agency, the landscape architecture and engineering firms [see links at bottom of this page] gave an informative presentation at this meeting and showed the current status of the “grade separation” project, with additional, greatly detailed slides showing the “basic” plan and the “enhanced” plan.  The speakers fielded many questions from the residents of Marina Bay neighborhood — a cross section of business owners, homeowners, tenants.  The latest fact sheet provides some visuals of the “basic” and “enhanced” plans which are more detailed in the presentation.  Remember:  whether you are a homeowner, or tenant, or business owner, you will be asked to vote on the ballot being mailed later this week (approx 8/26)  You will be asked to check your preference for either a shortened construction plan with road closures and detours, OR a much longer construction plan with only one lane open in each direction (the longer construction plan will undoubtedly create major traffic backups if two lanes are closed out of the current four; this traffic is expected to be averted by a full road closure which will mean detour routes are continuously open, heading both east and west).  Details, maps, explanations, pdf of the ballot, etc. are in the presentation.

EARLY NOTICE OF UPCOMING MEETING ABOUT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE:  The Redevelopment Agency will hold a special meeting for the Marina Bay community August 23, 2010, to discuss the underpass construction schedule. Under consideration is a shortened 18 month construction schedule with attendant road closures, or a longer construction schedule with fewer road closures.  A Notice of Public Hearing will be mailed to all property owners. Please attend both of these important meetings.  Click here to see the postcard (both front and back) for the 8/23 meeting, which will soon arrive in your US Mail box.  Also, please read the brand new Fact Sheet that was presented at the 8/11 MBNC meeting and the new presentation showing the two final designs (one is “enhanced” and one is considered “unenhanced”… make sure to also read the August MBNC Meeting minutes for more information).  To return to this page after viewing the various linked documents, simply click your “back” or left arrow in your browser.
