Homeless are taking over the sidewalks by Seminary Square park, you can't walk at near the intersection of 2nd St and Walnut. Trash everywhere, needles spread out on 2nd St, baby playpen, clothes all over. It's an eyesore for the City, and you feel harassed everyday by people sitting on the bench and holding signs!
They’ve been told Not to camp. 20/30 tarp by 2 trees, looks like it's an apartment with all their tarps. Witnesses defecate, Shoot up (drugs) Just wants his city back. Mayor’s office and Prosecutor to leave them alone. If I get caught with a syringe Very upset. Tired of seeing them. Embarrassing. It’s frustrating Once a week I will start calling. I will not suggest anyone come to our city. They’re not homeless. Drug addicts. They dance in the middle of the street. Does want something else to happen. Use property and let it go. The needle exchange climb rate started climbing.
why have the wantabe homeless still able to have tents and live trash and destroy the park and anyone else's desire to go there
The smell when driving by is so bad it makes me sick, if you are not going to move the homeless at least get porta pottyes so they are not just using the ground. No one wants to smell the foul odor coming from this park.
Currently there is a person in the park using a needle to inject themselves with something.
Two or three of the lights on the north side of Bee Line Trail bridge over Grimes/Patterson are out.
While visiting Bryan Park on 8/9, I observed mowing with a gas engine lawn mower of grass already at a very low height. Greenhouse gas emissions are a concern from unnecessary mowing, and the area being mowed was very large. For a city with a sustainability office, one would expect either the use of electric lawn equipment and/or mowing only when necessary. Please consider training staff to mow using environmentally friendly practices.
July 4 there were fireworks shot off in RCA park until at least 1:30 in the morning. This later led to shouting and what sounded like arguing before someone finally called the police to break up the situation. I was wondering why the city allowed fireworks to be shot off by private citizens in the park? Why when the park is supposed to be vacated at dark there were people there long after dark? Why the city had to call out a city worker on a Sunday to clean up the mess that was created? and finally what the city is going to do about the constant problems that occur after dark in this park? If it can't be serviced and maintained by the city then maybe something else needs to be done.
Blocks in wall have fallen/ been broken down.
