The Editor, Silly me, I thought the paving of the green corridor beside Railway was still being discussed. I was by there last night - blackness, tar stench and a long swathe of Richmond's green lungs destroyed! No wonder it's so hot and smelly in Richmond these days, with removing that which cools and cleans the air! It's well proven that natural green space in a city keeps it cooler. So why destroy our defining namesakes (Garden City, City by Nature)? This is anti-progress and may well take away all our wins as longest-living, healthiest community in Canada.
Smarten up, you city council (expletives), who are merely pretending to represent me and my family!
