Hello All,

In response to the August Beltran and dump truck incident in Vancouver this past summer,  HUB Richmond/YVR sent a letter to the City of Richmond advocating for the installation of guard rails on city-owned trucks. A copy of the letter is attached to this email.

This motion is being brought forward to City Council tomorrow, Wednesday, September 21, 2022. The meeting is scheduled to start at 3pm and the truck guards issue will be the last item on the agenda. We were also told of the possibility of this item being delayed for a future meeting.

- attend the meeting and/or sign up to speak on this issue by emailing CityClerk@... or call 604-276-4007 before 1pm on Wednesday, September 21, 2022
