Hello commissioners,
I hope the spring is treating you well and that you aren’t having too many nightmares. I’m writing about Sacajawea Park, on N. 7th across from Applebee’s. It’s next to my house and things are getting out of hand with the vagrants and their trash.
I’ve lived here for 18 years and have always picked up the litter, because it’s my neighborhood and I’m happy to do my part to keep it clean. But ever since the Visitor Center cabin was removed, it’s become increasingly popular with the bums and in the last few years, the litter has increased. This year it’s reached new heights. See attached; I filled two garbage bags and didn’t get it all.
Please have the police swing by once in a while to keep the vagrants in check. Maybe you could install a garbage can? Several of the spruce trees have low-hanging branches, where much of the trash piles up… perhaps they could be trimmed?
In sum, I don’t mind picking up a few items here and there, but this year I just can’t stay on top of it. I and the park need your help.
Sincerely,
Mike EnglandN. 8th Street
