Description

NE 16th Ave, Main Street and NE 2nd Street and metastasizing into NE Park. Open container, public drunkenness, drug dealing, and littering. The picture does not do justice to the other areas and open "partying" surrounding this site. I have become hesitant to patronize the small businesses in the area and no longer feel safe traveling through this area without being accompanied for fear of being physically or verbally accosted. It appears that this is not a new complaint. City Commissioners, PLEASE take a walk or ride through the area. Do you live here, because I do. Do your kids and grandkids live and play here? Mine have but again it is no longer safe. GPD cannot be solely held to blame given their decreased force which is a direct result of decisions made by this City Commission. PLEASE HELP
