The Editor,
Richmond Council seemingly has money to burn as judged by their latest proposal to put an (asphalt) path along the Railway Green Space.
After all what's $2 million? What they propose will almost certainly become a new "battleground" for cyclists, rollerbladers, mothers with strollers, pedestrians and small children. Why not just leave it as a green space and leave its use to be determined by members of the local community?
And as an added bonus for some members of our council it may divert the snow geese from ruining the local playing fields!
And apart from the occasional mowing in the summer, it will cost nothing!
Patrick Gannon Sr. Richmond
