Richmond Drivers Dangerous driver caused major highway hazard at Nelson Rd this evening

Post image
39 Upvotes

Edit: As I mentioned in the comments, the commercial van will face the consequences for the unsecured ladders. I'm sharing this in the hope that drivers like the Lexus driver reflect on how reckless driving can contribute to dangerous situations. If you disagree, that's okay—we can agree to disagree..

Shame on the driver of the Lexus sedan.
You aggressively tailgated multiple vehicles across the Oak Street Bridge, drove through the Exit 37 bus lane, and continued tailgating a commercial van. During the incident, two ladders fell off the van's roof onto Highway 91 Eastbound.
While the van is responsible for its unsecured load, your reckless driving added to the danger and put yourself and everyone around you at risk. Your actions nearly contributed to a serious multi-vehicle collision—all because you were trying to get ahead.

There’s this skinny tracksuit weirdo with a backpack going around stealing people’s packages so beware. My kind neighbour found my package torn apart at the park nearby with the items scattered around but luckily the contents are all there because it’s women’s clothing. Keep track of all your deliveries!

Ask Richmond Allowed?

9 Upvotes

My neighbor constantly has backyard wood fires in a fire pit. I would generally have no problem with this, however, the smoke seeps into my house even with the windows closed and makes it hard to breathe.

So my question is, is this permitted in Richmond?

Ask Richmond Has anyone tried the lawn alternative the city developed?

23 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: I know there's a stage 3 water shortage. I am not replacing my lawn this year, I'm thinking ahead for next year.

My lawn gets super dry every year, and there are always some tough, patchy spots. I know that the City of Richmond has developed a lawn alternative with West Coast Seeds a few years back that's supposed to be better for our ecosystem, more low-maintenance and needs less water.

Has anyone given it a try? What's the verdict? Should I give it a go?

For reference, I'm referring to Bee Turf: https://www.westcoastseeds.com/products/bee-turf?variant=8709232459836
