Although we have seen a reduction of street campers at Nelson Meadows in NW Bozeman, there are still several
garbage piles surrounding "vehicles" parked at the business park. Over the last months the police have arrested
drug dealers and felons who were involved in altercations with other temporary residents. We are disappointed that
our walking path and the PROST path have gone unused over the last three years. Prior to the street campers we
had families enjoyed the hike around our property at multiple times each day. Now there are none. Street campers
and their adjacent refuse have block access to the path and present less than inviting surrounding for pedestrian
visitors to our site. We encourage the City to designate one or more large parcels of City property (fair grounds,
softball fields at Highland or city parklands where all street campers could have access to restrooms and establish
their own communities for their own safety. Thank you
