Letters: Thanks to City of Richmond parks staff for quick response

A Richmond News reader has some praise for the quick actions of City of Richmond staff

Dear Editor,

Last week I emailed the City of Richmond with concerns pertaining to the new bridge built over the canal in South Arm park, adjacent to the tennis courts and McRoberts secondary.

Although the  new bridge was an excellent and sturdy addition, it lacked proper treading to keep walkers/runners/bikers from slipping on icy mornings when the trees block any sunshine from reaching the  bridge. 

A week later, I was out for my morning walk and noticed the parks department had added extra treading which means park users can now safely cross the bridge without fear of injury. I wanted to pass along a thank you to the city parks department and appreciated their timely response in dealing with the issue.
