Friends and Family of Rusty Robertson have made a Memorial for him on Ilderton Rd. Where he was hit by a car while riding his bike. A couple across the road want it removed. These types of memorial are all over the City. The memorial is in no way interfering with traffic and is not a hazard to anyone.

Ridiculous to even suggest moving it. Let it stay where it is.

This is just heartless. Leave the memorial alone, it hurts nobody and helps a grieving family heal.
