Beechwood Drive is one of the only streets that directly crosses Westham Parkway, which has a speed limit of 30MPH. Because of this and the proximity to UR, Tuckahoe Shopping Center, and Tuckahoe Elementary School, we see much foot and bike traffic from neighborhood children as well as adults who walk and run in our area. We propose a crosswalk with corresponding signage to help promote the safety of our children and community and provide a visual cue to those driving through our neighborhood that children and pedestrians frequent this area. In light of the speeding in our neighborhood, we feel this is especially important to help provide a safe route to school for our children who walk and for those who ride the bus and still must cross Westham Parkway to reach their bus stop.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who, for the safety of our neighborhood children and our community, are in favor of Henrico County painting a crosswalk and installing crosswalk signs at the intersection of Beechwood Drive and Westham Parkway.

I have submitted a formal request for a traffic study at the intersection of Beechwood Drive and Westham Parkway to the Henrico County Department of Public Works. We are waiting for a timeline regarding their assessment of pedestrian traffic patterns. I will post the official response from the county as soon as it arrives.

It is a very busy street and children are often seen running as quickly as they can to make it across on their way to school
I am fed up with people driving at 50mph + on our road. Slowing this traffic down is a priority.
I live on Westham Pkwy and the speed at which some cars pass by is dangerously fast. A cross walk would benefit everyone in our neighborhood and help drivers become more aware of their speed. Please keep our neighborhood safe and pedestrian/bike friendly! Thank you!
My family crosses this intersection frequently, and we have to sprint with our baby stroller to make it across safely. Please add this crosswalk!
I agree! This is a very busy street and is in serious need of a crosswalk! Tons of kids are in this neighborhood and it is dangerous as is.

This would be a wonderful thing for our neighborhood!!

This intersection/crosswalk is the main thoroughfare for children walking & biking to Tuckahoe Elementary. A crosswalk would reinforce how the intersection is heavily used and would remind drivers of the need to yield.
