Description

We live near Dimond Park. We have safety concerns regarding the parking lot at Canon Avenue and Wellington Street. The parking lot at Canon and Wellington is often used by cars and people partying in the evening after the park has closed. Given a spate of recent safety concerns in our neighborhood, we should discourage people from hanging out in this parking lot after park closure. This routine hang out creates an invitation, not only for people to treat our neighborhood like an open public space which, after park hours, it is not. To walk past an evening scene of people partying with loud music, smoking and drinking while parked in the lot can be very uncomfortable.
In the past, the parking stalls adjacent to the park at Canon and Wellington were chained off at night. By closing the parking stalls with chains, the feeling and reality of neighborhood safety will be improved. Please establish a protocol with park personnel that they resume closing parking stalls in the evening after the park has closed.

Thank you for your consideration
