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.
Retaining wall along alley is collapsing. House is close enough to wall that structural damage could occur. Property owner is the same as 427 N. Washington, which has also recently had a retaining wall collapse, but the owners just piled the cinder block back up and left it that way. That building is not so close to the wall as to create a hazardous situation - it is just an eyesore.
Trash on west side of house along alley. Garbage is everywhere, being dragged into neighboring property by wild animals and wind. Been like this for weeks.
Trash on ground in backyard and on back deck. Also, there is a collection of *STOLEN* orange traffic cones.
Unknown if this is a violation or not. Red Lincoln automobile parked in backyard for years. Flat tires and expired license plate (2020).
Trash piled on south side of porch. Has been like this for weeks. Smells bad from street.
S Mitchell 414 and 415; overflowing trashcans. Pick-up was today. Cans were not put out for pick-up. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now.
