Description

The brick and paved walkway leading from the corner of 22nd and Franklin streets up and around the hill to the corner of 23rd and Grace streets has been broken, weed-covered, and dangerous for several years (since the devastation of Storm Gaston!). It is the best route to walk to or from Church Hill and Shockoe Bottom but remains difficult-to-impossible to traverse. In addition, there are still large tree branches on and along the route. The stairway leading from 22nd and Franklin up behind Richmond Hill was finally repaired a couple of years ago, but the sidewalk remains an unsightly and perilous blight.
