Mitre-Ramirez, Norma <br /> From: Edgar Hernandez < <br /> Sent: Friday,April 22, 2016 1:42 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Riverbed area <br /> To those responsible for our parks and bike trails, <br /> My concern is what's being done about the growing homelessness problem in the riverbed areas under freeway <br /> and street overpasses. 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 /> 1 <br />
