Concerns over safety and community impact were at the forefront during a recent government meeting, as local residents voiced their frustrations regarding activities at a property located at 11th and Andrews Avenue. Residents reported a significant number of individuals congregating in the area, particularly during meal times, which has raised alarms about supervision and safety.
The community expressed worries about the aftermath of these gatherings, noting that many individuals remain in the neighborhood after meals, leading to various incidents. Reports included unsettling observations, such as individuals engaging in suspicious behavior, including one instance where a person was seen looking into a neighbor's home from a tree.
Additionally, residents highlighted issues with the mobile showers and porta potties provided at the site, indicating that these facilities contribute to the overall problem. The community is seeking intervention from local code enforcement, which is currently investigating the situation. A hearing is scheduled for the end of the month, where residents plan to present their concerns formally.
The lack of communication between the organization managing the property and the surrounding neighborhood has been identified as a significant barrier to resolving these issues. Residents are hopeful that improved dialogue will lead to better management of the activities occurring at the site and enhance safety for the community.
