Description
The homeless CITY is totally out of control. Yeah we all understand this is on railroad property and that the homeless are hands off, but this is a GROWING HEALTH HAZARD for the community and neighbors that have to see, hear and smell the filth. There is a mountain of trash and the number of tents are increasing. Our Council must take control of this and NOW. The Council was elected to among other things maintain a safe and healthy environment for its citizens, this isn't it. The Council must direct staff to coordinate with the railroad to keep this area clear of this hazard on a permanent basis. Nowhere in Bentwood, Oakley or Pittsburg do you see these tent cities at railroad crossings. I would assume they don't allow it or are in constant contact with the railroad to keep these things under control in their communities. Another thing that leads to the growing mountain of trash are people dropping off items to the homeless. Those items that are not wanted end up in the trash heap. Citizens of Antioch, you are not doing the homeless any favors and are certainly contributing to the problem. Get it done, either through coordination with the railroad or advise the railroad the City will contract to have it removed. TBA

In March of 2013, I sent an email with photos to the Union Pacific president--Mr. Koraleski (and seven of his corporate officers) requesting cleanup of their property in Antioch. Mr. Michael Grant (Oakland office of UP) replied quickly :-) and the area was clean. In August of 2014, the process was repeated.
You can find the names of Union Pacific corporate chiefs with a simple Google search. Try starting at the top.

The fact that we have no plan inplace for all the homeless is a major problem. How can we be proud when a sign above the road is the only thing. Perhaps creating a code that properties in our downtown can only be occupied by owners? Or proper penalties for problem renters and owners. Like on the corner of J and 3rd.
