> Attention please to all who are planning to attend the
> Maggie L. Walker FIRST LEGO League Tournament!
>
> We have a major conflict with the Richmond Marathon, which takes
> place this Saturday --- the same day as Maggie Walker's FLL
> tournament.
>
> Maggie L. Walker Governor's school is encircled by the routes of
> the three marathon races and travel to and from the school this
> Saturday is liable to be difficult. Most important to our
> tournament, Richmond Marathon/Sports Backers is closing off
> Lombardy Street between 7AM and 3PM and WILL NOT be allowing
> tournament goers to access the Maggie Walker parking lot.
>
> However, George Washington Carver Elementary School and James River
> Bus Lines have both generously agreed to allow us to use their
> parking lots for the event. Both are close by the school. George
> Washington Carver Elementary School is located at 1110 W. Leigh
> Street and the parking lot is entered from the Harrison Street on
> the side of the school. The James River Bus Lines parking lot is
> on Allen Ave., which is across from their terminal building at 915
> N. Allen Avenue and between W. Leigh Street and W. Broad Street.
>
> There are only two routes that can be used to get to Maggie Walker
> on the day pf the Tournament. You must access I-95 either south of
> the city or north of the Boulevard.
> We are told these routes into the school will be open all day.
>
> However, please note that once at Maggie Walker it appears unlikely
> that anyone will be able to drive out again until after 3PM when
> the Marathon is over!
>
> Directions to get into Maggie L. Walker Governor's School for the
> day are as follows -
>
> North of Richmond: Take I-95 South to the Belvidere Exit, Number
> 76B. Turn right onto West Leigh Street at the top of the ramp and
> follow W. Leigh Street to George Washington Carver Elementary
> School at 1110 W. Leigh Street. Turn right onto Harrison Street to
> access the parking lot. Only use the parking lot on Harrison
> Street. Please do not park on the grass or on the ball fields!
> You can then walk to Maggie L. Walker Governor's School, which is
> four blocks west of Carver on W. Leigh Street.
>
> South of Richmond: Take I-95 North to the Boulevard Exit. At the
> end of the exit ramp, turn left onto Hermitage Road and go under
> the overpass. Continue for several blocks on Hermitage until you
> reach the stop light at W. Leigh Street. Turn left onto W. Leigh
> St. At the stop sign, turn right onto Allen Ave., then turn right
> into the James River Bus Lines' parking lot, across the street from
> the JRBL terminal. Please do not park in the terminal parking
> lot. To get to Maggie L. Walker Governor's School walk back to the
> intersection of Allen Ave. and W. Leigh Street. The school is half
> a block east.
>
> Alternate route: If you can time your trip so that you will be
> crossing Broad Street at Meadow St./Hermitage Rd. between 7-8AM,
> you can take the Powhite Parkway to the Cary Street exit - East.
> Travel east on Cary Street to Meadow St. Turn left onto Meadow
> Street. Between 7-8AM you should be able to cross both Cary St.
> and Broad Street. Once you cross Broad St., Meadow becomes
> Hermitage Road. Follow Hermitage to the stop light at W. Leigh
> Street. Turn right onto W. Leigh Street. At the stop sign, turn
> right onto Allen Ave., then turn right into the James River Bus
> Lines' parking lot, across the street from the JRBL terminal.
> Please do not park in the terminal parking lot. To get to Maggie
> Walker Governor's School walk back to the intersection at Allen
> Ave. and W. Leigh St. The school is half a block east.
>
> If you need to deliver items to the Elizabeth Street entrance or
> need handicapped parking,
> please plan to take the route from the South of Richmond or the
> alternative route!
>
> Please DO NOT take the Boulevard exit if you are southbound on I-95
> because you WILL NOT be allowed to turn left onto W. Leigh Street
> from the Boulevard!
>
> Please DO NOT park in the Krogers or Lowes parking lot as your car
> may be towed! Krogers' manager has informed us that they are
> planning to tow anyone who parks there.
>
> Please plan to set out early to get to Maggie Walker and be
> prepared for delays.
