Bank Street must be returned to free operation as a regular Richmond city street. It is not part of Capitol Square and shall not be considered part of the Capitol grounds in the future. All barricades, fencing and other obstacles should be removed from the public right of way immediately. They are a safety hazard and inexplicable barrier to citizen's freedom of movement. 

Under no circumstances should the Commonwealth further encroach on Bank Street. Bicyclists and pedestrians depend on Bank Street to use the Franklin Street bike lane and connect from Shockoe Bottom to Downtown and Monroe Ward. The Commonwealth should respect the public good and not create new public harms by restricting free movement.
