Boulevard (usually referred to as "The Boulevard" although the street name does not include any
definite article) is a historic
street in the near
West End of
Richmond, Virginia providing access to
Byrd Park. It serves as the Border between the Carytown/Museum District to the west and the
Fan district to the East. Attempts have been made to rename the street after
Arthur Ashe, a tennis star and social activist who was born and grew up in Richmond proper, but no renaming attempts have succeeded thus far. Near the south end is Richmond's
Boulevard Bridge (also commonly called the "Nickel Bridge" referring to its toll charge which has increased to 25 cents) across the
James River. Boulevard intersects with main artieries Main Street, Monument Avenue, Broad Street, and
Hermitage Road.
The Diamond is located on Boulevard. The intersection of Boulevard and Monument Avenue has a statue of
Stonewall Jackson.
