Description
Some one has yet AGAIN cut the fence creating an opening to the Jane Sweeney/Alameda Beltline. This was just recently repaired and most of the piles of garbage was removed from the beltline. Now the fence is cut again and things are piling up. I'm wondering if there is not a better way of securing the fence with something this person is not able to cut through. In addition, there remains for some time now a very large homemade shelter in the field and this may be the reason for someone continuing to cut the fence.

Thank you for reporting this. I reported the same thing yesterday morning after I witnessed two men hacking on the fence with a section of pipe on Saturday evening. I also called the APD non-emergency number at that time to report it the vandalism in progress.
Perhaps if the park areas were more visible it would not be so attractive as a secluded haven. The
reddish slats in the chain link fencing could be removed, as well as cutting down some of the hedges that encompass the fence would help. They will be removed anyways when the park is developed.

Thank you for the update on the fence. I will ask Public Works if they can secure the fence again, and maybe make it more difficult for people to cut the fence open. I have asked officers to provide extra patrols in the area, and report any large piles of garbage to me so I can ask Public Works to pick them up. Please continue to call the non-emergency line at APD if you see people vandalizing or entering the area. The number is 337-8820.
