closed: Resolved #188812

Trails:

Other: Just before 10am on June 6, 2024, the same group from U-report 188774 are arguing yet again out in the woods along the Rail Trail. 2 or 3 people are shouting and cussing at each other. This has been going on for 20+ minutes this morning and is starting to be a regular, daily occurrence now. This is annoying to nearby property owners and frightening to trail users. Clear these homeless camps out, from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive. The City's inaction along the Rail Trail is allowing the problem to not just continue, but grow ever since the Switchyard camps were cleared and more people moved south. This is a threat to the safety of everyone in the area, and dangerous for the homeless camp residents as it is a challenging area for police to respond to quickly if situations escalate.

Thanks for the report. I have passed this and other reports on to BPD and the Office of the Mayor so actions can be coordinated. The camps are not on Parks property but I understand their impact to the experience of using the trail. If you ever notice an emergency situation, please call BPD immediately. We will continue to work with BPD and administration on solutions. I'm going to close this report but please feel free to submit additional reports if there is more information, or call the Office of the Mayor to give reports.
