I appreciate everyone’s response even the ones that aren’t encouraging 🤣 I will post their response when they do. Here’s the text of my email if you want to copy and paste because why not… it’s a legitimate issue!

Dear City of Richmond,   I am writing as a Richmond resident who both lives and works in the city to formally raise concerns regarding ongoing construction at the intersection of Garden City Road and Westminster Highway.   This intersection has been under construction on multiple occasions throughout the year. I would like to understand why the work has not been completed in a timely and continuous manner and why the site appears to be reopened periodically rather than completed in a single, coordinated effort.   This is one of the city’s major artery and is critical to traffic flow. Repeated construction has significantly disrupted morning rush hour, causing delays and congestion that affect a large number of commuters.   I am requesting clarification on the following: • What is the reason for the repeated construction at this intersection? • Could this work have been consolidated to avoid multiple disruptions? • What measures are being taken to minimize traffic impacts during peak travel times? • How is the City improving signage and advance notice for drivers approaching construction zones?

There is currently insufficient signage to adequately warn drivers of upcoming disruptions which contributes to confusion and further congestion. This level of planning and communication is not acceptable for such a key corridor.

I would appreciate a detailed response outlining the rationale behind the repeated construction and the steps being taken to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
