Abbey, our Steering Commission Chair, had the same question we all have: “So… what’s happening with those projects?” 👀

Luckily, Leidiana had already put her onto the secret weapon: the RVAPB Project Tracker. 📍

Just head to the homepage of RVAPB.org to see where projects stand, from in progress to completed. And when Abbey spotted some of her favorites marked complete… well, she had to go see them for herself. 🚗💨

Want to see what’s happening with your favorite People's Budget projects?

Check the tracker. Then go take a look!

Project Update: Tree Trimming, Replanting and Sidewalk Restoration📍

Join former RVAPB 6th District Budget Delegate Kenrick Cameron as he visits two completed improvements in the 6th District that are making neighborhoods stronger and more resilient.

First, Kenrick stops by Hillside Court in Southside to check out newly improved curb and gutter infrastructure. Located alongside a floodplain, these upgrades play an important role in managing stormwater and helping keep neighborhood streets safe and usable.

Then, we head across the river to Highland Park, where the Urban Forestry Team has planted new American Elm trees that will provide shade, cleaner air, and a healthier urban canopy for years to come.

This project was proposed by residents, refined by community volunteers, and ultimately selected by voters during Richmond's first Participatory Budgeting cycle. It's a great example of how community ideas can improve both our built and natural environments.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Shout out to Department of Public Works for bringing these community-driven improvements to life. 👏

Project Update: Plant Trees to Increase Urban Canopy & Shade📍

The trees are in the ground—and they'll keep giving back for generations to come. 🌱

Join Aaron Linas, former Richmond People's Budget Steering Commission member and current conservation landscaper, as he visits Fulton to showcase newly planted Willow Oak trees funded through Richmond People's Budget.

These trees, planted by the Urban Forestry Team at the Department of Public Works, are helping expand Richmond's urban canopy—bringing more shade, cleaner air, and a healthier environment to the neighborhood for years to come.

This project was proposed by residents, refined by community volunteers, and ultimately selected by voters during Richmond's first Participatory Budgeting cycle. It's another reminder that community ideas can grow into lasting investments.

Thank you to everyone who participated! 👏
