What happens after the bike races?

What is the City of Richmond going to do after the UCI Road World Championships is over? What’s next for the city?
What if the bike races hadn’t come to Richmond? Would city officials have spent the money fixing up parts of the city? Where would that money have gone?
Here are a few things that you can do. How about cleaning up some of the blight in our urban communities, like condemned buildings and homes that attract the wrong type of business that goes on in these communities?
How about the mayor and the governor working on increasing the minimum wage in our state?
I think officials should address on a serious level our roads, schools and communities, and put more police on foot patrol in the city.
If you can find the money to fix up the city for a bike race, or any other race, then you can find the money to fix and clean up the entire city and our schools, roads and neighborhoods, don’t’ you think?
