Welcome
February 2025 meeting
The date for our February meeting has not yet been determined. Please check back.
At our well-attended January meeting we focused on traffic and lighting issues related to the Dollar Tree store at Barrett and San Pablo Avenues. Staff from the City’s Planning Department and the consultant who produced the traffic safety study were present. They answered questions and presented their recommendations.
In addition, there was discussion about the recently installed traffic calming installation at the intersection of Barrett and Key Boulevard.

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.
