Letters: Community space needed along Steveston waterfront

A Richmond News reader thinks improvements are needed for the area between No. 1 Road and Phoenix Pond.

Dear Editor,

Random thoughts while strolling.

Our Richmond waterfront is a gem, from Garry Point Park all the way to Britannia and beyond, and along the dyke both ways to Terra Nova and No. 5 Road.

The exception is Richmond’s epic fail between No. 1 Road and Phoenix Pond.

Could we consider having the city buy it out and convert it to community space?

Surely our community planners could come up with a better use for that prime location than exists now.
