Specifically through the bike trails. Drug use and trash are more and more visible each <br />time I ride through it. <br />I'm a Riverview neigborhood resident and every time i use the bike trail between 17th st and Memory Lane, I <br />notice there's more and more homeless in the area. This cannot lead to anything good, and I believe this to be a <br />huge health issue for the homeless and a safety issue for everyone. <br />there's a new bike rest stop /park adjacent to the memory lane, city drive corner and it boggles me how this <br />million dollar project is being built literally 15 feet away from a homeless camp that seems to "shelter" about 20 <br />homeless people. This means that this new park will be contested between the bikers and the homeless that will <br />use it to probably bathe, sleep, and do drugs. If the city and the SAPD don't do anything about it, I can predict <br />the homeless will win over this park. <br />I would like to know what is being done about this, for the sake of our residents, and all our children, we need <br />to maintain the parks safe. <br />Best Regards, <br />Edgar Hernandez <br />WS 1 A -4 <br />
