Agreed. I live in a residence nearby on Newbury and on the weekends I notice people with signs on the corner near chic filet and rt. 30, one day a guy had a lady in a wheelchair there too...it is sad and then there are people that beg but drive away in very nice cars, so you dont know if they are really homeless and need help or if they just dont want to work and use this as their job. Our new mayor should make a no begging law.......if anyone is inclined, offer food nearby vs cash.

The area cars have been advised of the issue

I haven't seen much improvement in moving these people out of the area, and they are a driving distraction. I thought pan handling or loitering in the street was illegal. I don't see this being addressed, but is a PD and human services problem that we as residents should not have to deal with.

yes, I go by the area every day as I live not too far, and they are ON THE ISLAND now in the middle of rt.30....there are also items between Chik Fil A and McDonalds right outside the green tree area, like silver tarps etc. where someone is sleeping between the trees where you can be seen by the cars driving by....its a big problem, and with the new govt. in charge...I expect this problem is going to get worse NOT better.

I agree. I see patrol vehicles drive by seemingly without batting an eye.

This is really frustrating, and unsafe!! This is not the type of community I want to live in. The police doing something about it, before something bad happens!

Yes, Community conversation has been scheduled. You will not find this event on ANY city calendar. It is not promoted at all. It is for those residents who feel enough is enough. Time to make your voices heard. More info on event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2181123795435786/

ONCE AGAIN, THE MAYOR DOES NOT WANT YOU TO GO. SHE HAS SCHEDULED THIS COMMUNITY CONVERSATION SO IT HITS AGAINST THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS MEETING AND THE MCCARTY SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS... TELL EVERYONE... BE THERE! https://www.facebook.com/events/2181123795435786/
