Top concerns submitted and ask public safety partners to comment (25 min). Sharing here for you to be able to prepare to speak to these:
- Street disorder making people feel unsafe (open drug use, loitering in drugged up states, around/outside of libraries and businesses, rinse/repeat, etc.)
- Word of high levels of case dismissals at City Attorney’s office
- Theft and violence inside retailers/restaurants, stemming from people living/loitering on streets
- Concerns around concentration of services (YouthCare, CCC) + nightlife and drug trafficking along/around Broadway and safety implications for public transit and youth (#2 bus specifically noted)
- Arsonist – present in CD area south end for about a year or more now. Fires at Marion & 21st, at a nearby Duplex (garbage can put inside recycling bin), at funderal home. Any updates available on who is behind this and/or what’s being done? Community is on edge.
- Nightlife noise ordinance violations (unpermitted street vending, preacher, car racing, etc.)
Sincerely, Hilary Santini & Deb Gumbardo EastPAC Co-Chairs
