Car=people surrounded by safety equipment and steel/aluminum/car structure material and able to injure/maim/kill humans even at low speeds

Pedestrian=people exposed to the elements, vulnerable to injury/maiming/death from cars/trucks/busses even at low speeds

Sure, traffic should flow and be predictable, but cooling your heels in your comfy car for a few seconds is not a great tragedy. I'd rather people in cars defer to pedestrians whenever possible.

> Also you would pass "Gilpin Court" which is a very sketch neighborhood that you might feel uncomfortable walking by--especially at night.

From Leigh St to Laburnum Ave Chamberlayne can be rather unpleasant to walk. Nice neighborhoods flanking either side, but Chamberlayne itself sucks.

Gilpin Court is a public housing project.

If they're branches and limbs too large for yard bags you can pile them beside where you leave your can on collection day and they come lift them with the truck with the claw/grabber on rhe back. I think someone else here said this happens on your recycling day, I think they might be right but I normally leave yard waste out every week at this time of year and it's taken care of.

Would you support Richmond transferring ownership of Bryan Park to Henrico County for free? I think Henrico County's citizens would benefit by that move because of all that development towards the middle of the county (Green City, VCC). Henrico also seems more primed and motivated to throw some money at improving and building new parks (see also Taylor Farm park).

Henrico gets an additional park to add to their fleet and Richmond gets to direct some of their budget towards their other parks.
