The intersection of Macdonald Avenue and 33rd Street near Lavonya Dejean Middle School is set to receive a number of pedestrian safety improvements later this year.
On Tuesday, Richmond City Council will vote on approving $790,000 for a project that will include installing a new modern traffic signal system at that intersection, along with bulbouts on all four corners, ADA-compliant curb ramps, crosswalks, sidewalk and storm drain improvements, traffic striping and pavement markings, according to city documents.
The intersection requires safety measures as it is heavily trafficked and adjacent to both Dejean Middle and Nichol Park.

Richmond collaborations deliver hope amid difficult holiday season

On Macdonald Ave. Tuesday, hundreds of “boxes of hope” containing Christmas dinners were handed out to community members in need. Meanwhile on Bissell Ave., families got books along with their frozen turkeys and pies. And over on S. 16th St., donated Christmas dinners came with gift cards.
Such events came at a critical time for community members facing mounting economic hardships from the COVID-19 pandemic.
For years, the Richmond community has fostered a reputation for banding together to support neighbors experiencing difficult times. The city’s residents, businesses, government agencies, schools, nonprofits and religious organizations collaborate annually on charitable giveaways. Efforts amid an unrelenting pandemic, however, have come with a heightened sense of urgency and are being carried out with a particular focus on safe distribution. Leave it to the city of Pride and Purpose to pull it off.

Richmond fire and police holiday drive delivers cheer curbside

By Mike Kinney
Five hundred families in need lined up in their vehicles today to pick up gift cards for the holidays thanks to a community effort that dates back to 1989.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers of the annual Richmond Fire and Police Holiday Program were concerned they may not be able to do the program this year. Michelle Milam, City of Richmond Crime Prevention Manager, said the need has been so great this year that it was important to move forward with a modified version.
And so Richmond’s public safety agencies again teamed up with usual community partners such as Richmond Rotary Club, Chevron, Mechanics Bank, and other individual donors to hold a curbside pickup event at LaVonya DeJean Middle School.

Tim Wilson steps onto the small stage platform, raises his baton and asks the 100 or so students seated before him to settle down. Music, he tells them, is painted on a canvas of silence — a lovely metaphor that has no effect. The October dress rehearsal for the middle school band’s first concert of the year is not going well.
Wilson waits. The hum of conversation continues, punctuated by an occasional clarinet’s revolt or trumpet’s yawp. The canvas at Lovonya DeJean Middle School in Richmond is rarely silent. So the music teacher waits some more.
