Dear Editor,
I am an avid cyclist in Richmond, with early morning and early evening rides that usually take me along the west dyke and the Railway Avenue corridor.
This year it appeared that the city was allowing the vegetation to grow out.
What we had as a result was a vast array of tall wildflowers, grass and even flowering weeds.
Beautiful. The bees and other insects were plentiful.
However, on my return trip along Railway this morning I saw that it was all being cut down.
The dreadful remains of all this flora now lying flat on the ground. An ugly wasteland.
A desert.
