Construction workers have once again blocked off Cherry Street between W. Cary and Cumberland without any warning from VCU or the City. Traffic is detoured down Cumberland.

There’s a big crane lifting stuff onto the new Cary Street Recreation Center structure.

Once again, VCU’s “community partnership” is a joke and the City appears to have no control over VCU, leaving citizens with no recourse.

Update: I owe an apology to City and VCU for this one. I went back through my email and I did in fact receive notice of the street closing from City Public Works. Yeah, I have got egg on my face for this one. Scott
