Beschreibung
Jefferson Park is continually being over-run by people by abusing the grounds for loitering and drinking, drugging, passing out on park benches, parking themselves in large groups blocking sidewalks in the park making passage of individuals/pets impossible, and overall wrecking the park.
We have cleaned the debris out of the new fountain many times and repositioned the lights in the fountain but they keep trashing the fountain by overturning the light fixtures in the water making it dark around the fountain (great for crime) and throwing debris in the water and surrounding grounds
Please enforce the Jefferson Park signage:
Park Closes at Sunset
No Dumping
Pets on Leashes
Families are tired of witnessing non-local residents passed out on benches, gathering to drink alcoholic beverages and discarding empty containers on the grounds.
Jefferson Park has become a real eye sore due to locals destroying the peace and beauty we have come to enjoy. We can't sit on the benches anymore to see the city out of fear from the above mentioned activities.

Reach out to City of Richmond Police Lieutenant John McRoy, supervisor of Sector 111 which includes Jefferson Park.
LT McRoy can be reached at johnny.mcroy@richmondgov.com or 804-646-3602 and 804-646-4395.
He has already heard from some local residents but he would benefit from hearing from more concerned residents about the situation of Jefferson Park.
Enforcing that the park is closed at sunset as the signs indicate would help greatly in addition to cracking down on illegal activity surrounding the park, e.g, dead end of Princess Anne Avenue by the park playground is ground zero for the bad guys, loitering on park benches, blocking park sidewalks and preventing visitors access to sidewalks due to bicycles, mopeds, large group gatherings with adult beverages etc

It is not my job to police the city . That is why we pay taxes.
Follow up on this as a paid government city worker.
thanks
