Well Well Well Loooks like they're beginning construction on a new Plaza
A portion of Bank Street will close Saturday morning to allow the state to create a temporary pedestrian plaza and other public safety precautions for the General Assembly’s first legislative session in the refashioned Pocahontas Building south of the Capitol.
State officials say the plaza will provide a safe place for the public, legislators, state employees, teen pages for the House of Delegates and Senate, and media, as they walk back and forth between the Capitol and Pocahontas Building, which will house legislative offices and committee rooms through the 2021 sessions. School and tour buses also will be allowed to unload and load passengers at the plaza.
Capitol police will control access through automatic gates on either side of the pedestrian plaza, which must be dismantled within two weeks after the end of each legislative session, according to the budget language the state negotiated with Richmond officials.
