Report imagines the future of the Staples Mill Road corridor
Henrico County’s Staples Mill Road has the potential to become a “complete street” – one that can provide safe, efficient travel options for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and public transit passengers, in addition to access for rail passengers – but a number of costly enhancements are needed to make that a reality, a consulting firm concluded recently in a 58-page report about the corridor and 12 square miles surrounding it.
Weapon scanners, SSOs, and the plan to make Henrico schools a safer place for students
All Henrico County Public Schools will soon have weapon detection scanners as an added security mechanism, with some schools projected to have the scanners installed by the start of the 2023-2024 school year.
Following months-long field testing using metal detectors, wands, and weapons scanners at a variety of schools, as well as the county collecting feedback through focus groups and county-wide surveys, all Henrico County School Board members said Thursday they were on board with plans to install scanners.
