The University of Richmond is trying to ease neighbors concerns about traffic of a proposed expansion to First Market Stadium, by agreeing to a timeline for road improvements, and trying to guide stadium traffic through entrances with the least neighborhood impact.  The proposed $25 million football stadium expansion, which would hold 8,700 people, will need a special use permit from the city.

John K. McCulla, coordinator of university relations, and other UR officials met last night with neighboring residents to brief them on the project.

After the meeting, McCulla said university officials are willing to improve UR Drive by the stadium’s opening in fall 2010 and to build a connecting road from Crenshaw Way to Spider Lane by fall 2011.

The improvements are expected to make UR Drive, one of two campus entrances from River Road and one of four overall, more inviting for stadium traffic. It also should have the least impact on neighbors.

McCulla said the timelines and new limits on stadium noise and lighting will be part of a revised permit application to be filed this week. University officials are hoping for approval by the Planning Commission and City Council in June.
