The Editor,
Richmond city councillors: Shame on you! What happened to listening to the very people who voted you into office? What happened to listening to the voices of the very people who helped to build this city for the past 50 years? Are we invisible and don't matter anymore?
Firstly, only one of you stood up for dual language signs ... was our country not built on English as our first language and French our second?
Secondly, what happened to our bylaws that protect our established trees? I just witnessed the removal of beautiful cherry blossom trees from a property in our neighbor-hood to make room for another mansion!
These trees were at least 45 years old and the previous owner kept them pruned and healthy, but they were in the way!
So, don't look for my vote in the next election ... I'll vote for people who care.
Patricia Rozinsky Richmond
