The city has received a second grant from the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All program. The $10.77 million will go towards several safety improvement initiatives.
Many of the improvements will go to areas highlighted in Richmond’s transportation plan, Richmond Connects. The city highlighted twelve priority projects when it announced the grant.
Those projects include retroreflective backplates for traffic signals, flashing yellow arrows, LED street lights, red light enforcement cameras around the city, and other traffic calming measures.
Also mentioned is the addition of concrete barriers to create permanent, separated bike lanes and the construction of curb extensions to improve safety at intersections.
