An issue over city streetlight charges may have led Fred Richards to local politics, but his pet project has more to do with water and sand than bulbs and light poles. Richards, elected to City Council’s Post 3 seat in an April 3 runoff, said he “doesn’t know the feasibility of it,” but he would like to see Flowery Branch City Park become a family destination. “I’d like to see the fishing pier put back and the beach re-established,” he said, speaking Thursday morning at the park, which sits at the end of Mitchell Street and faces Lake Lanier.
