Modifications to Key and Barrett Traffic Calming Project, from the Public Works presentation, June 24.

Key and Barrett Intersection Update

The Public Works Department will be working with its traffic consulting firm, Fehr & Peers, to respond to some of the outstanding questions from the meeting, either through design or through updating the project’s FAQs on the website. The plan is to return with city crews in December to make the adjustments to the traffic calming project at this intersection.

Our next meeting

Our next regular neighborhood council will be scheduled in late September. We will send an email notification to our subscribers and post the details on this web page in mid-September. Please check back.

What We Do

The purpose of the East Richmond Neighborhood Council is to provide a forum for neighborhood residents to exchange ideas on community issues and neighborhood problems and to serve as a source of information on topics of interest before our city government and public agencies.

  • Our monthly meetings provide  forums in which neighbors can state their concerns to elected officials, agency staff,  and public safety officers.
  • This website posts the agendas and minutes of our meetings. It also offers timely information on events and other news of interest to residents— from announcements of neighborhood clean-ups to advice on forming neighborhood watch groups
  • Business owners who want to locate to East Richmond come before the neighborhood council to outline their plans and answer questions from our residents. The council can then make a recommendation to the Planning Department to permit, permit with conditions, or deny the development.
  • Similarly, if a homeowner’s remodeling plans may have impacts on neighbors, the Planning Department may ask the homeowner to present the plan to the neighborhood council, which then makes its recommendation.
  • Officers of the Neighborhood Council attend monthly meetings of the Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council, a citywide organization of neighborhood councils.

There are no membership fees. All residents are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings and join those working to improve the place where we live.
