Greenway full of colour

Richmond - The Editor, It is human nature to be quick to complain when something goes wrong.Our local papers are full of weekly criticism of our local government, its officials, and our municipal workers.
Richmond - The Editor, It is human nature to be quick to complain when something goes wrong.Our local papers are full of weekly criticism of our local government, its officials, and our municipal workers. But sometimes equal energy should be given when they get it right.In the past couple of weeks, a wonderful display of nature's colour has popped up out of what I am sure most residents who live along the new Railway Corridor path thought was an ever-growing mess of weeds that the city was neglecting to cut down.Block after block are beautiful wildflowers in reds, blues and yellows. They are simply gorgeous.Their appearance year after year is going to be something to look forward to, and I would encourage the city to fling some more of those seeds in Garry Point and at the tunnel exit into Richmond, McDonald Beach Park, wherever this colourful spring surprise would work; because this time the city did get it right.Roidon LambRichmond
