Last week the Historic Shockoe Partnership (Shockoe Slip neighborhood association) voted unanimously against the idea of Main Street Station being used as a GRTC transfer station. They are opposed to almost all aspects of the proposal (PDF). This evening, the Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood Association board will be meeting to draft a formal letter of opposition to the current plan as GRTC presented it to City Council’s Land Use Committee last week.
Saying that, “this is not opposition to Shockoe Bottom being a part of the transportation solution for the City of Richmond”, the Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood Association has since June requested changes to the plans “that would keep the approximately 1600 bus trips daily entering the center from Broad St. or north of Broad St. rather than using the existing Shockoe streets”, though GRTC has given no response.
