Kirby & Richmond

The Kirby and Richmond area features a complex traffic system with three lanes each way and a central turning lane. It is bordered by green spaces and utilities along its sides, while access to I-59 is available to the south. This area contains various retail services including Citgo, Super Cuts, and Ninfas. While strengths include excellent lunch zones and walking paths, weaknesses like limited residential options and inconsistent street crossings pose challenges. Future opportunities include additional retail and improved pedestrian crossings, but threats from light rail and competition exist.
