Re: George Washington’s Canal at Tredegar Green

Dear Mr. Baliles and Members of Council,

Mr. Dwight Jones, Mayor of Richmond and President of Venture Richmond, wants to drastically reshape George Washington’s canal at Tredegar Green. Only a portion of the channel bottom would remain authentic.

Mr. Jones claims the canal berm interferes with visibility from the northern portion of Tredegar Green to the southern portion. Mr. Jones knows that raising the ground level of the northern portion of Tredegar Green would increase visibility to the southern portion.

Why is Mr. Jones proposing to lower the ground level of the northern portion of Tredegar Green?

Sincerely yours,
