Welcome to What’s Next, Richmond (WNR). This week we continue our series focusing on sections of Richmond that are geographically close, but difficult to travel between without the use of a car.
I think this is a great thing to report on. I agree that people drive way too fast on the Manchester and Lee bridges and I don't think they do it intentionally, it really feels like a highway. I know it's a steady stream of income for the city but I would prefer if they added slowing mechanisms like typical road diet stuff that would reduce number of lanes and increase bike lanes. And, even though I would hate it and so would everyone else, some traffic humps on the bridges would slow people down and maybe get rid of the speeding dirt bikers going 80.

The south side of the Manchester bridge ends with one right lane going to Jahnke. How will the bus/bike set up accommodate drivers going that way?
