Beat 11 is known as the “Business District” of Richmond.  Beat 11 covers businesses such as USPS, Whataburger, Walmart, and Wharton County Junior College.  Beat 11 includes everything west of the BNSF railroad tracks on FM 1640 to Lamar Dr., and businesses in the 1200-1600 block of FM 2218 which includes the businesses of the Richmond Food Mart, Papa John’s Pizza, and China One. Awaam Urgent Care Clinic, and Wall Street Village, a new subdivision, with homes being built at a quick pace, has recently joined Beat 11.

During the month of October, I met with Sadik, who is an employee at RiteSpot. Sadik said people keep cutting through his parking lot to avoid the stop light at FM 2218 and FM 1640. Sadik would like to see officers enforcing traffic laws to prevent drivers from using his parking lot as a short cut, before someone gets hurt.

I then spoke with Leroy, who is a resident of Wall Street Village. Leroy said he is very pleased with the community he lives in and would like to see more families move into the area.

While in Wall Street Village, I also met with Geni. Geni said she loves her new home and feels its reasonably priced for the prime area it is in. Geni informed me she would be running for a chair in the upcoming HOA.

Towards the end of the month, I stopped by the Sanctuary Fellowship Fall Festival. While at the festival I met several amazing people to include Pastor Joe. Pastor Joe informed me the church host monthly events and would like to see law enforcement stop by every once and a while to interact with the church members.
