In an extremely rare Richmond event there is a plan before the Urban Design Committee that has support of the neighbors and those proposing the plans. Skaters in Richmond don’t have many spots to hone their skills. Relying on impromptu parks or skating where they’re technically not allowed.

On the 1800 block of Texas Avenue there is one such impromptu, DIY skatepark but plans have been submitted to upgrade it and create a substantial addition to the neighborhood. The best part, the project has won over the community.
