City Performance:

Other: I have been threatened on Clear Creek trail before. It does not feel safe, especially when alone. I am an advocate for those unhoused but to have a camp with individuals experiencing significant instabilities next to a remote trail with little police presence is unsafe. There are connections between safety and those who are not stably housed, so location matters as to where camping should be allowed in a way that can be monitored better than the current "wild west out-of-sight approach" of the present City Administration. Strangers are more likely to be victims of crimes committed by homeless individuals than rates from housed perpetrators. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7641002/ Beyond the unhoused, in general a greater safety presence on trails would be appreciated. Call boxes for emergencies for instance and other options are fine beyond standard law enforcement. Even just public safety "parks patrol" non-LEO would honestly be even better than LEO.

Good morning, I would encourage you to Please call 911 if you are being threatened or feel unsafe. I have shared the information you provided as well as the request for call boxes and greater safety measures on the B-line with the administration and department heads but I do not know at this time if/when adding call boxes to the b-line would be implemented. Please reach out if you have further concerns.
