Parking is one of the key issues that City Hall is seeking to address as it moves ahead in preparing a new master plan for Richmond.

A series of meetings began this week to allow residents in seven areas where parking is a contentious issue to review and discuss recommendations from a consultant, DESMAN.

The meetings are open to all people as the ideas being presented are expected to influence parking policies in other parts of the city, officials said.

This is the schedule for the remaining sessions, by area:

• The Fan – 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 6, Binford Middle School, 1701 Floyd Ave.;

• Manchester – 6 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 11, Plant Zero, 4th and Hull streets;

• Scott’s Addition – 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12, Dominion Payroll, 3200 Rockbridge St., Suite 300;

• Carytown – 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12, at 2810, a community gathering space, 2810 W. Cary St.; and

• Downtown – 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, Main Library, 101 E. Franklin St.

This is the second round of meetings for the Richmond 300 Parking Study, which is an element of the master plan. The first round was held in June and included a presentation about existing parking conditions.

The information and materials to be provided at the public meetings are to be made available at www.richmond300.com/parkingstudy, along with an online survey for those unable to attend the meetings.

Information on when the materials will be available will be emailed to those on the Richmond 300 email list and will be posted on social media.
