The letter writer of “All GRTC bus stops need benches” has a great point!

I would go one step further and add that bus riders and the citizens of Richmond deserve benches free from graffiti.

Currently, there are two bus stop benches with graffiti listed on RVA311.

I would encourage the City of Richmond to rectify this issue and do a “graffiti blitz” this summer to tackle the defaced signs, sidewalks and recycling bins across our city.
