A very strong good citizen retrieved the trash can and cleaned up the trash on Sunday. The trash can is back in place.

The bench is still pulled out of the sidewalk and I noticed this morning the other bench has also been pulled out of the sidewalk.

This is revolting news that such destruction could happen. The "Overlook" there is a treasured City Resource for news stations, ChildSavers, Richmond Hill and others who come there. I would (sadly) like to see live-time video cameras set on the public site by the City, because our local police is not funded enough to spend every night in a patrol car there.

12/16/2014 - Thanks so much for your communication with Richmond City government online. This matter has been formally reported to Richmond Parks (20020963487) so that proper investigation, inspection and consideration can take place accordingly.

We appreciate your communication that helps us in “Building The Best Richmond” together – rtt

On Feb. 25, 2015, Parks reinstalled the park bench. Your concern is now closed. Thank you for doing your part to help build the best Richmond.
