closed: Resolved #185435

Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: Previous report (185419) says the city returns “abandoned” shopping carts when found. The real issue is the homeless (seminary park) are using these shopping carts and nobody is confronting them about stealing these shopping carts from local merchants. Just today (9/6/23) I saw multiple “city workers” at seminary park while people there had shopping carts full of crap but nobody doing anything about the issue. These are not the property of these people just because they stole them. Merchants aren’t selling these shopping carts. These are obviously stolen and the people need held accountable and the shopping carts returned. Thanks!!!

You are correct that Parks and Recreation custodial workers do not confront people about their possessions or shopping carts. That is not in the scope of what they are able to do or enforce -- they are there to clean the park. I believe enforcement would be more between the relevant business owners and BPD, so that may be a worthwhile place to direct a comment. Thank you!
