Dear Editor,

A while back, I read about the windfall of funds the City of Richmond received from our local casino.

Now, I’m seeing my property tax go up by almost $1,000 this year.

Given its riches, I wonder if Richmond could afford to buy some street paint and repaint some of the crosswalks, centre lines, stop lines, lane direction arrows, etc.

A tremendous number of lane reflectors are damaged or missing. It is becoming a road safety issue.

This is the time of year for getting that type of work done. Why let it get so bad? Where are the crews?
