Highland Park roundabout construction begins
On Monday, the City of Richmond’s Department of Public Works will begin construction on the Highland Park Roundabout Streetscape at the intersections of Matthews Street, 1st Avenue, Rowen Street, 3rd Avenue, Trigg Street and Daniel Street (near Holy Cross Cemetery).
According to the city, the work will include the construction of the roundabout; resurfacing portions of the affected streets; raised median surfaces on several streets; new concrete sidewalk along several streets; and improvements to existing drainage systems and landscaping. Work will run through early January.
I see some very important reasons for going forward with this roundabout as well as the one proposed at Laburnum Avenue and Hermitage — “new concrete sidewalk along several streets; and improvements to existing drainage systems and landscaping.”
Glad this is finally underway! As a resident of the neighborhood, this traffic calmer is much needed and much wanted by our civic association. It’ll also be an attractive gateway to Highland Park.

I have been driving through the neighborhood for severa months now house shopping and the southern part of “The Tip” is very nice. I have recently made an offer on a home and hope to close soon. Anyway, I can see the improvements and I like them It is a very interesting time in this neighborhood and I hope to help the momentum going to make it better.
