Letters: Flood concerns are somewhere over rainbow

A Richmond News reader wants to see more money put towards flood protection in the city

According to residents, large parts of the neighbourhood near Shell and Seaton roads were underwater during last month's atmospheric river.

Dear Editor,

Richmond was not that dry during the flood. Shellmont and a small area on Aintree Crescent was flooded.

Why is that? Too many houses for one pump or something else?

Whatever it is, it needs to be fixed now.

We pay enough taxes and with a big increase that came this year, flooding should never have happened.

Over-building, tree removal and climate change may have all contributed. 

Take the money from ugly art and rainbow walkways and put it to better use.
