Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Emma Medina < <br /> Sent: Monday, July 17, 2023 11:32 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Item #39 @ July 18th City Council meeting <br /> Hello, <br /> I support the Councilmember Phil Bacerra's Requested Item (Item #39) that he submitted to be <br /> discussed at the July 18 City Council meeting. <br /> Santa Ana cannot be turned into the skid row of OC with transients doing illegal drugs in public <br /> streets, alley's, 7-11's, under bridges, parks, the side of the freeway and the list goes on. If there's <br /> illegal activity taking place in public then the police should be able to handle it. That's what they are <br /> there for. Over the weekend my husband and I saw a man who frequents the corner of 17th st and <br /> Broadway. Previously he littered the new entire corner with trash along the landscape of the brand <br /> new Merchant's Bank. This time he had a stolen shopping cart filled with his junk and he proceeds to <br /> use it as a weapon to make people in that intersection dodge him and practically crash, hit their <br /> brakes, move around him. The folks at the stop light could see what was happening but had no <br /> control but to just watch as he taunted the people unexpectedly going through the intersection on a <br /> green light. He could have caused a serious accident. Yet, his freedom to do whatever he wants is <br /> more important than following the rules and being put away for - being high, crazy, littering, <br /> shopping cart theft, jay walking, etc We need to stop this from continuing in order for these <br /> grown people that feel they have no consequences to their actions and quality of life to affect <br /> everyone else's well being along with theirs. Stand up for what is right! Clean up Santa Ana once and <br /> for all! <br /> Thank you. <br /> Washington Square Homeowner and resident since 2005 <br /> 12 <br />
