Public invited to share input on Richmond’s North-South Pulse corridor at meetings
VENN
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- As the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) advances its North-South Pulse project, transit officials and their partners are inviting the public to share input on the future of the pulse corridor this October.
The community is invited to upcoming in-person public meetings on the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) study for the future North-South Pulse corridor, with officials explaining that feedback from the local community will help "shape plans for more connected streets and vibrant, accessible neighborhoods along this future bus rapid transit (BRT) route."
The project aims to extend bus service to better connect Richmond’s Northside and Southside. This new route will integrate with the existing East-West Pulse on Broad Street, enhancing connectivity throughout the city.
This is reportedly necessary due to its current ridership surpassing the existing bus service, leading to conversations over how the North-South Pulse corridor will connect the community and create jobs and opportunities in the Greater Richmond Region.
The following are the upcoming scheduled public meetings:
- From 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 6, at Southside Community Services Center, 4100 Hull Street
- From 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at PlanRVA, 424 Hull Street, Suite 300
- From 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at Main Street Station, 1500 East Main Street
Officials are encouraging residents, businesses and community stakeholders to find out more about this study, voice their opinions and shape the future of the NorthSouth Pulse corridor.
