Dear Editor,
Re: “Neighbourhood densification proposed,” News, Feb. 26.
Would any of our city city planners consider a town house right on No. 3 Road a desirable housing option for them and their families? Better watch the kids pretty carefully when they are playing ball hockey in the driveway and cars are blasting past at the usual Richmond urban speed of 70km/h or more.
How about this for a densification plan: rezone all residential cul-de-sacs for townhouse redevelopment! Then families could again afford to live in our residential areas and we would once more see kids playing ball and riding their bikes on the safe and relatively car-free streets in our neighbourhoods.
To think that we are paying these planners healthy salaries to come up with ideas that no one would actually want and put our kids at risk.
