Presenter Ms. Ebert said the Shockoe Institute — a nonprofit partner that received Mellon Foundation grant support — is contracting exhibit design and that the city has engaged Baskerville as lead designer for a 12,000-square-foot exhibit hall. Ebert said the Baskerville contract to design the exhibit hall is approximately $986,948 and that Team Henry has a construction award of about $2,500,000 for build-out work. The exhibit build-out was described as beginning in spring with a timeline of roughly 12 months to opening in summer of the following year.

Ebert detailed the Lumpkin’s Jail site, noting archaeological remains found about 10–15 feet below grade, and described a pavilion and design that would allow visitors to view excavated foundations and interpretive materials. She said the Lumpkin’s pavilion construction estimate is about $17.5 million and that the broader southern-campus element, including the South Memorial, has a current estimated cost of about $34 million. Ebert said the city had secured a combination of state funding ($13.4 million noted) and city capital budget allocations and that, in total, roughly $32 million was budgeted in the city’s Capital Improvement Program for Shockoe project elements, with an additional $10 million budgeted in fiscal 2026–27; Ebert described total available funding for the initial listed elements at about $45 million.

Ebert described the Emily Winfrey cottage relocation and restoration — estimated at about $1.5 million and included in the CIP — and the Anne Carroll’s Landing and Slave Trail work (contract award to Team Henry at roughly $2,000,000). She said moving the cottage is a prerequisite to starting Lumpkin’s Pavilion construction and that rights-of-way across CSX Railroad have been a permitting challenge for the Slave Trail improvements. Ebert also said the city purchased a 1.2-acre parcel that contains the Shockoe Hill African Burial Ground and that the city successfully had it designated as a cemetery; the estimated budget for commemorative improvements on that 1.2-acre parcel is about $1.8 million.

On the National Slavery Museum, Ebert said the city is cooperating with a foundation that plans to fundraise for a museum; she said the museum is not in the city budget and estimated the likely construction cost “well over $100 million.” She acknowledged floodplain and stormwater constraints across the site and said some design elements, including a bridge over East Broad Street, address floodway mitigation.

Council members thanked staff and requested follow-up questions; staff said they would be available for more detailed conversations on design and implementation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Richmond City - Land Use, Housing and Transportation Standing Committee on 2025-04-22 3:00 PM - To access the meeting via Microsoft Teams, please use the following link: https://tinyurl.com/LUHT-APRIL22 or dial *67-804-316-9457 and enter ID: 486 047 321#. - Apr 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff presented an updated plan and funding overview for the Shockoe heritage campus, including Lumpkin’s Jail pavilion, exhibit hall, Anne Carroll’s Landing and Slave Trail improvements, and burial-ground commemoration.","taxTitle","Richmond City (Independent City), Virginia","taxId",5755,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6576591,"Committee continues resolution on photo speed monitoring after police and public-works briefing",737,2316000,3053000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3085818-4af15a59f910fbf827a3ee8664a00ba9&start=2316&end=3053","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3085818-4af15a59f910fbf827a3ee8664a00ba9/thumbnail_2316000.jpg","/articles/6576591/Richmond-City-Independent-City/Virginia/Committee-continues-resolution-on-photo-speed-monitoring-after-police-and-public-works-briefing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6576591-4e01e27c0f6a55427aadc26145c89990/orig.mp4?Expires=1770503472&Signature=dJd7pIItJ-lF~JNg28WZ390VTMbkkUyTM5XK8fx0GzG5X5paiidFC4R0Pg8fzuTZL5I2OliNm7LRgW6Snust1vNKSPDA6~J7-hD-80XaLGLMbIVr0vvpL0Ckzg3ANkFOlndBcopJ8wSnDuZemsmZfsdvhZ-zsLS-UP4O3Hk-X6uohNNEwe22xDVKzi63mWEf7dyqbWFi1mJFiNgqgMEu4J7Jy6Aqv5MiP9ff8JqdW8OYIW9OMA0GL6QdyQasRyPp0JAv04sQ-0aAsZJk-mU8h7NMgyNHGs~FKItADLQJ1WwVpUPXvKWVRLNf8k2Ox~-0wYaV~CLXTmPMAAfIuphkKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Land Use, Housing and Transportation Standing Committee continued a resolution directing study and possible installation of photo speed monitoring devices at high-risk intersection segments after a multi-department briefing on operational, financial and legal considerations.

Major Armstead of the Richmond City Police Department told the committee the department already operates 26 school-zone cameras at 13 locations on a limited schedule tied to school hours, and that validating citations requires sworn officers. Armstead said current staff hours for existing camera programs include four part-time officers and one full-time officer and estimated the associated salary cost at about $400,000. He warned that high-risk intersection cameras would run 24/7, likely produce more citations and require additional staff to validate citations.

A Department of Public Works (DPW) representative (Ms. Khara) explained the city's current vendor arrangement with Conduent Solutions, the process for collecting revenue from school and red-light cameras and the differences introduced by a state code change for high-risk intersection segment (HRIS) cameras. Khara said revenues from school and red-light cameras can be placed in a special fund to pay vendor and program costs and then support the Vision Zero safety action plan, but that revenue from HRIS cameras must be remitted to the Commonwealth Transportation Board to be allocated through the statewide Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Because HSIP funds are distributed statewide, DPW said the city would need to advance installation costs and budget for the program up front.

Mike Sawyer, city transportation engineer, noted camera-generated revenue is intended to fund changes to the built environment under the Vision Zero plan and encouraged community engagement; he also pointed council members to a Speed Management Symposium scheduled for May 22 at Main Street Station.

Council members pressed staff for a concrete recommendation tied to the study and a timeline for next steps. DPW and police staff said procurement and budgeting would be required; police recommended an internal procurement process, and DPW noted the existing Conduent contract could cover up to about 50 locations with a total contract value up to $5 million for school- and red-light programs. Staff agreed to discuss a recommendation with police and email a proposal to the committee within 30 days. The committee voted to continue Resolution 2024R41 to the next scheduled Land Use meeting on May 20.","Committee members heard staffing, funding and statutory differences among school zone, red-light and high-risk intersection speed cameras; staff agreed to provide a recommendation within 30 days and the committee voted to continue the resolution to the May meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6576597,"Tenants and organizing groups urge quick implementation of Richmond rental inspection program",510,1304000,1814000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3085818-4af15a59f910fbf827a3ee8664a00ba9&start=1304&end=1814","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3085818-4af15a59f910fbf827a3ee8664a00ba9/thumbnail_1304000.jpg","/articles/6576597/Richmond-City-Independent-City/Virginia/Tenants-and-organizing-groups-urge-quick-implementation-of-Richmond-rental-inspection-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6576597-bb38c33eaa738a99afbdf12a035c6e4a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770503472&Signature=KS-90PAARYcYwcZYFCQeyeqOGdhPWYqGNe4I28CNIoV6iDzHDVJ9kwdokBZ7KvHPQRNLHZvl6Nu9A8~4ZYrUE0H~V2RPDgqaRh12mYaH4~X~~ISRq-kDff9mGBRsudT1g7Hxkxjdzkurn1dKEgl17oeEHw~E9bn8suevATuPgrSAARmEja6ujS0zi-8h0DyDHiaMsLxevyrCLwm1xGhnmB0ZknFJo4BxjMr-jXgMCzCBKoj0FZrB3EFQtjJZ4SGBtU1SxpBZOBRPp-YVEX9Q5Q5tctPRDCFJZZp5lGkGaSgRgef-QptJy1FzRuWtOzuraz~pySKEsHtm7od6odm5IA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of tenant advocacy groups urged the Land Use, Housing and Transportation Standing Committee to expedite the city’s rental inspection program and to provide regular updates on ordinance development.

At a public comment period, Rachel Hefner read a statement on behalf of Marquetta Fisher, a Third District resident and member of Virginia Organizing. Fisher thanked the council for support in creating a rental inspection program but warned against adding provisions that the speaker said Virginia law does not allow, such as prohibiting rent increases unless landlords demonstrate investments in their property. She urged Richmond City Council to add support for state-level rent stabilization legislation to the city’s legislative priorities and asked the administration to bring an ordinance to the committee “as soon as possible.”

Benny Gates III, a Ninth District resident, told the committee he supported the inspection program and called for safeguards to prevent displacement. Gates said code enforcement already displaces tenants and that a well-structured inspection program would hold negligent landlords accountable. He urged the council not to use the word “blight” in the ordinance and recommended using the term “deteriorating,” saying the alternate word could create confusion under Virginia code.

Dream Boyd, joining virtually and identifying as a tenant and Virginia Organizing member in the Third District, echoed concerns about ordinance language and process. Boyd advised against making tenant councils a mandatory ordinance requirement, saying such mandatory structures often become formalities and do not produce sustained tenant organizing. Boyd joined other speakers in asking the council to request monthly updates from the administration and to include a deadline for creating inspection districts to avoid implementation delays.

The committee did not take action on the public comments during the period; public testimony was followed later by committee business.","Speakers representing tenant organizations urged the Land Use, Housing and Transportation Standing Committee to avoid delaying the rental inspection ordinance, asked for monthly status updates from the administration, and sought safeguards against displacement and certain terminology in the ordinance.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6576582,"Votes at a glance: Land Use, Housing & Transportation committee actions",92,3732000,3824000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3085818-4af15a59f910fbf827a3ee8664a00ba9&start=3732&end=3824","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3085818-4af15a59f910fbf827a3ee8664a00ba9/thumbnail_3732000.jpg","/articles/6576582/Richmond-City-Independent-City/Virginia/Votes-at-a-glance-Land-Use-Housing-Transportation-committee-actions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6576582-d480efe50fd9b494f5688f5fb9c1995a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770503472&Signature=ac~FktBRqH43U1mLj-VCipEaXQur0XXHj0R7oi~l~Gv9wavOsklntQYejh99q7iUAXqVHGTiZxyWUfFJzeHCUPFHdnqvT~mNMCZwRLXkYzrCMn7hPoUp0MsdpkwE-d6vLGC-ZFdWAu6QSrPEWLKQXKptCYyId3MeeOGYL1xA6JswqsnTg8HFHVjBN2AxPeLJtugtZu9LC8FuJNgBpIl2SRqx7euzuJFouOgtXfCT-1zLAXXeooB4ygXtBMXDOtT-t78Z-9Jk8oWbYtVX-8w-wBkhhgokFFo~g4EXLAEEwsy0sh7QhUeySHpepX3x4zH9O7MYsPrGImOzcRHpYI1LJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Land Use, Housing & Transportation Standing Committee recorded several formal actions during the meeting.
