Letter: New West lawns took a beating thanks to COVID-19 distancing

Writer promises to do better in the future

Editor:

I have walked my daughter to school and back all year, not to mention random walks to get out of the house, all through our beautiful neighbourhood.

We are usually very respectful of lawns and grass as we know how hard our neighbours work to keep them beautiful.

This year, many of these lawns have been sacrificed in the name of physical distancing, which didn’t even exist prior to this new reality we have been living. We cringe every time we do it, but we do trample some grass on the way in order to keep our distance.

We’d just like to extend thanks to all of our neighbours who are working hard, or who perhaps have thrown up their hands this year and just given in. We will absolutely return to our sidewalks next year.
