Description

LET'S TRY AGAIN. Not only did the city never respond to multiple requests last year to do something about the homeless encampment on the Mill River (unfortunately inhabited more and more by thieves and such, not the decent sorts of years ago), but they never cleaned up the piles of trash left behind when winter hit.

Right now there don't seem to be camps set up, which would be great except that there is at least one armed vigilante patrolling the area. Man with a long gun. Friendly enough but still makes a park user nervous. Most likely a homeowner fed up with the total lack of government response.

I don't want anybody arrested here. I do want the city to (a) clean up the mess, and (b) develop some sort of a plan to keep this area either uninhabited or controlled/patrolled so that it doesn't get trashed or turn yet again into a hub for neighborhood thieves and addicts. Too much to ask?
