I crashed the Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood Association meeting this evening at the soon-to-open Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant and it was super informative. If you’re neighbor a or business owner in the area and want to stay in the know, you should really be making it out for these every-3rd-Monday meetings.
The meeting began with a presentation by Walter Parks on the proposed development at Cedar and Broad. I should have an updated rendering of the building soon; I’ll add that here when we get it.
Lieutenant Emmett Williams of Sector 112 gave a public safety update. Crime is down; the small recent bump in violent crimes were all domestic. He dropped an interesting factoid: on weekend evenings, there are more police per square block in Shockoe Bottom per square block than anywhere between Philadelphia and Miami.
In other news: new lights should be installed on the 1700/1800 blocks of Main Street in the next 30 days. Also, there is a neighborhood cleanup set for Saturday May 3 – meet at 8AM at River City Diner on 17th Street.
