Dear Editor,
As many neighbourhoods have noticed lately, the City of Richmond is not mowing their property in and around pedestrian walkways and street right-of-ways.
I’m sure there are a variety of economic explanations for this change in practice but my concern is more community-oriented. Our walkway is used by many four-legged friends and the long grass makes the feces “difficult” to locate.
I have observed this myself in my neighbourhood. The real problem is that our children are excited to run through the soft, tall grass as part of their outdoor play. Need I say more?
I’m sure off-leash areas must be receiving cutting service...please extend the same service to these frequently used paths.
Thank you.
R. Hyrman
