There is a tent setup on the curb doing some sort of commerce and the customers and staff are taking over the sidewalk, blocking pedestrian paths.
An increasing number of individuals are sleeping on the sidewalk every night along with their belongings. They are shielded from view & passing cars by presence of the tree planter. These people inevitably need to use the bathroom throughout the course of the night and do so on the surrounding properties leaving fecal messes all around - both an unsanitary hazard and burden on those who have to clean it up. In the mornings when they leave the area there is always a sizeable mess of garbage, clothing, personal belongings, needles... left behind on the sidewalk, tree planter ledge and surrounding areas.
Nightly encampment of folks on sidewalk/public ROW after closing of parks. Needles/syringes, feces, trash, chairs/furniture etc. are all over the area - on public & private property as a result of the nighttime inhabitants. Due to late night activity, this may need to be addressed by police.
Every night the sidewalk is taken over by an encampment of individuals sleeping on the sidewalk. The area gets littered with needles/syringes, garbage and more. The nightly inhabitants use the surrounding properties as toilets and leave fecal messes to be cleaned up. Last night there was a fire pit with an active fire in it, as it was a cool night. This is a recipe for disaster, not to mention that these people should not be sleeping in the sidewalk public ROW. The police need to be involved as this is after business hours. Attention to this matter is very much needed and appreciated.
