Garbage and debris all over the property and it's left there for days to blow into neighboring yards. City Bus shelter littered with garbage every day which collects overnight when the busses aren't running. Homeless citizens use the bus shelter as a living room from 4pm till midnight or later dropping garbage and causing noise disturbances. The free food cabinet in front of the property is a great idea, but canned food bakes in the direct afternoon sun every day which is a health hazard.

I am reaching out this morning to ask that the city address the homeless camp site next to RCA park north of Cherokee Dr and IMI concrete plant. I believe this was supposed to addressed after the severe cold a while back. Most of us on Cherokee Dr were completely understanding and have been tolerant of the homeless camp. However, the size of this camp has ballooned to highly unsafe levels. Unsafe for the residents of the camp and to the residents in this neighborhood. There has been a sharp increase in trespassing, fighting, littering all over the neighborhood, abandoned bikes and other junk. There is a constant flow of people up Cherokee and behind it and it’s only increasing. Three nights ago we had someone knocking on doors and trespassing at multiple houses. I could hear a neighbor yelling at this man because he was creeping around his house. I caught him on camera as well as a guy last night who climbed on my porch and moved furniture to look through my window. Does that sound a little creepy? It is. Stuff like this has happened more often and it really needs to be addressed. We have the services here in town, maybe not to help this number of people , but we have services and camping on private property and harassing a neighborhood as well as a new neighborhood being built isn’t part of those services. Please look into clearing this camp as soon as possible and preventing it from being established again. It’s been cleared a few times, only to have the problem increase in numbers time and time again. It is unsafe and unsanitary and the problem is only getting worse by the day.

With the construction going on in the Building Trades Park homeless people are starting to hang out in the church parking lot across the street. The security patrols for the park used to check out that parking lot but have stopped since the construction has started. It would be nice if they swung through occasionally while the construction is going on.
