Car parked too close to an intersection and blocking a crosswalk
@dannyavula.bsky.social how about you let people report things like bad parking and they can than get a cut of the fine? RPD doesn't seem to want to go out of their way.
Two cars blocking two different alleys
Richmond drivers are bad and there is no accountability. Easy revenue could come from one person walking around Carytown writing tickets for 8 hours a day.

Screenshot of text: Four of the city's planned 10 red light cameras have been installed and should be operational by next Friday. They'll start issuing $50 citations after a 30-day grace period. (News release) The cameras are at: 25th & Main; Belvidere & Cary; Chamberlayne & Brookland Park; and Chamberlayne & Laburnum.
Why should there be a grace period for newly installed red light cameras?
It's not like stopping at a red light is a new concept.
I guess if you want to kill someone, just run them over!
Can't wait for the Commonwealth Attorney to not charge any of the drivers 🙃

Thank you @dannyavula.bsky.social!
Please don't let up on this issue. People are watching to see long overdue changes happen.

Cops obstructing the flow of cones
You can make this better @dannyavula.bsky.social
Parade forced on the sidewalk because Richmond can't close a street for a few hours to celebrate
Cones belong in the street, @dannyavula.bsky.social
Cones on parade on Cary, which should be shut down for special events, every weekend, and eventually every day.
Come stop your cops from yelling at people celebrating
@dannyavula.bsky.social
Shut down Cary for the Cone Parade!
Our country is better because of immigrants.
Democrats don’t understand the attention economy aspect of politics in the slightest. Who is going to pay attention to a vote and blame Republicans in the way they’ve been paying attention to the shutdown and blaming Republicans?
The pressure was clearly working. Look at Tuesday you clown.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.
Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.
Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Knocked over lamp post laying across sidewalk in a commercial district
Lamp post gets knocked over by a Kroger truck onto a busy sidewalk and it takes 2+ hours to respond to even put up caution tape? I should have dragged it into the road so it would get faster attention. Keep it Richmond Real @dannyavula.bsky.social
A street clogged with cars and people on Halloween
Someone is going to get hurt. Why not open Hanover to people and get cars out of the way for one day @dannyavula.bsky.social ?

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.
As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:
This sucks so hard.
ice has brought far more violence to chicago than was there prior
Under Donald Trump’s economy:
Coffee is up 26%
Beef is up 14%
Oranges are up 17%
Bananas are up 6%
Chicken is up 6%
Chocolate Chip Cookies are up 5%
Potato Chips are up 4%
Milk is up 4%
But average worker pay is only up 2%
Trumpflation is eating up your paycheck.
"not crossing at an intersection may have contributed to the crash"
Where is the nearest intersection with a crosswalk?

17 vision zero volunteers smiling in front of a vision zero billboard - Smoking tables next to non-smoking tables used to be normal too (child biking in a painted bike lane next to a truck)
"Smoking tables next to non-smoking tables used to be normal too."
Seeing this billboard up has been incredible and this shot from @visionzerovancouver.ca of the team of volunteers is pretty moving TBH.
I have an essay in @theglobeandmail.com this weekend.
It's about how I and a group of parents fought to have street outside our children's elementary school closed to cars.
This year, we succeeded!
Now we're going to have to fight to keep it in place.
