Why are the police not investigating this? I saw at least 12 people standing out there on Saturday early afternoon (and have several other times as well). To my knowledge it's not a campground.

if this is referring to the group of vagrants that hang out next to the Dutch Village Apartment complex, it is completely out of control that this group of people can continually post up next to A SCHOOL BUS STOP FOR CHILDREN !!!!!!!!!!!
i called KPD myself just the other day as i was waiting for my niece to come off the bus, and was approached by 3 of these men myself (thinking i was waiting to hitch a ride). during the 20 min wait for my niece, i watched 5 different men walk/bike over to their gathering point with a 24 pack, a 6 pack of tall boys and another 12 pack.. when i called KPD they were VERY AWARE of who i was referring to and their location & even said that they probably knew them all by NAME.
WTF!! why are they continually allowed to hang out here all day and night.... ???!!!!! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN & NOT JUST ONLINE... CALL KPD & REPORT IT. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPENLY DRINK & CONGREGATE NEXT TO A SCHOOL BUS STOP FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN >> THIS IS INSANE!!!!

Is this still a problem? I would say to mt that a rail trail will bring more pedestrians to the area which will scare people away - not the other way around.

If this is still an issue, please update - otherwise I will close. I won't try to close it till next fall at least - since it is winter now, it's probably not much of an issue at the moment.

All the more reason not to have a rail trail on the former U&D corridor as this will be happening much more often then!!!!!!!!!!

No updates so I am closing. If it is an issue, feel free to reopen.
